Beat the egg yolks in a bowl; whisk the half-and-half, sugar, and salt into the egg yolks until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Beat the flour mixture into the egg mixture just until smooth, with most lumps gone.

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Brush melted butter into the round wells of a cast-iron ebelskiver pan. Set the pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is very hot and smells slightly nutty, pour batter into each well, filling them about halfway to three-quarters full. Let the ebelskiver cook until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; the centers will still be runny.
- 5
Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, gently nudge each ebelskiver at an edge to loosen it from the pan. Insert the toothpick lightly into a top edge from the inside, then gently lift and rotate the pancake to flip it over. Turn them so the rounded bottoms face up and the liquid batter in the center flows into the bottom of the well. Cook until the second side is browned, about 1 more minute.

Remove the finished pancakes from the pan with the toothpick, place them on a platter, and serve warm.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
