danish pancakes

Warm, buttery and delicious Danish pancake balls. Perfect dusted with powdered sugar and served with jam!

Æbleskiver (Danish Pancakes)

all purpose flour

baking powder

sugar

salt

cardamom

nutmeg

milk

eggs (separated)

vanilla extract

unsalted butter

Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cardamom and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.  Set aside.

Whisk milk, egg yolks, vanilla and melted butter together in a large bowl until well combined.  Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and, using the whisk attachment, whip until they come to medium peaks that are fluffy but not dry.  Gently fold into the batter with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.

Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium low heat.  Dot each round with a small cube of butter or brush with melted butter.  Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into each round so that it is almost full.  Cook until the bottom is just set, about a minute.  Using a wooden skewer, gently turn each aebleskiver 90 degrees so that the batter spills out into the pan.  Keep turning so that the side that is partially done is on the top.  With the help of the skewer, continue cooking and turning until the aebleskiver are golden brown on all sides and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 6 to 8 minutes total.  Adjust the heat downward if the æbleskiver are cooking too quickly.

Set aside on a wire rack to cool.  Wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel and repeat with remaining batter.  Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with raspberry or strawberry jam if desired.

This recipe for blueberry mini pancake balls is inspired by Aebleskiver Danish pancakes and is a fun (and delicious) alternative to American pancakes. Plus, this recipe is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and packed with blueberry flavor!

Aebleskiver Danish Pancakes (Blueberry Mini Pancake Balls)

oats

blueberries (fresh

eggs

Tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of your choice)

tsp baking powder

tsp vanilla extract

Tbsp yogurt

almonds

blueberries

maple syrup

Process the rolled oats in a food processor until you obtain a slightly chunky oat flour.

Add the rest of the batter ingredients and process until it is thoroughly mixed/incorporated.

Step 1: Prepare the pancake batter

Heat the pan with a little oil. I used a Dutch mini pancake pan for this; you can also get an aebleskiver pan, which has deeper wells, or use a normal skillet if that&#039;s all you have.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake well and allow it to cook for around two minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip the pancake over and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.If you&#039;re using a normal skillet then use a tablespoon measuring spoon to form each pancake, leaving a little space between each one for any spreading.Traditionally, a crochet hook/knitting needle is used to flip the pancake balls - however, several tools will work, including a skewer, sharp knife, or even toothpick.

Step 2: Cook the pancake balls

Depending on what you want to serve these pancake balls with, you can prepare them now. I decided to use some heated blueberries, just placing them in the pancake pan wells to heat, gently brush with a little oil, and within a minute or two, the blueberries will be warmed, sizzling, and a little saucy (no sugar required).

(Optional) Step 3: To prepare the heated blueberries

Store: store any leftover blueberry oat pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for between 3-4 days.Freeze: allow the pancake balls to cool entirely before transferring to a freezer-safe container and freezing for up to 1 month. Thaw before reheating.To reheat: pop the pancake balls in the oven at 350ºF/175ºC for a few minutes to heat through. You could also microwave them.
