Ebelskivers ARTICLE BY CHEF DANIELLE MILLER OF ORDERS UP DELIVERY | PHOTOS BY KRYSTAL BEHUNIN
While I was going to Culinary school in Santa Barbara, I took a trip north to a small Danish town called Solvang. It is there that I learned the art of making Ebelskivers, the delicious round Danish pancake. Here is the Orders UP version of the traditional danish batter – but if you are short for time, your favorite pancake mix will work well too. For this recipe you will need a specific Ebelskiver pan that can be purchased locally or on Amazon. Ingredients:
» 2 cups buttermilk » 2 cups flour » 2 eggs (separated) » 2 teaspoons baking powder » ½ teaspoons baking soda » 3 Tablespoons sugar » ½ teaspoon kosher salt » 4 Tablespoons melted butter » 1 teaspoon vanilla » Butter, oil, or nonstick spray for pan
Directions:
» In a medium bowl: Wisk together buttermilk, flour, egg yolks, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, kosher salt, and melted butter. Set aside.
» In a small bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer or a whisk until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter.
» Over medium heat put the Ebelskiver pan on stove. Add a tiny pat of butter or oil into each well.
Once melted add 1 ½ Tablespoons of batter into each well, let cook for 45 seconds then add 1 teaspoon of jam, Nutella, or berries to the center of the batter. Then top with another Tablespoon of batter to cover filling. Flip each Ebelskiver over, using chopsticks or knitting needles. Cook for another 2 minutes. Gently take Ebelskivers out of pan.
» Dust with powdered sugar, jam or maple syrup before serving. » Note: There is somewhat of an art to getting the timing and temperature right. Keep trying and you will be cooking Ebelskivers just like they do in Denmark in no time.
