Laura's Signature Æbleskiver

Laura's Signature Æbleskiver are airy, golden spheres with a tender, pancake-like crumb and a whisper of tang from buttermilk. Their lightly crisp exterior gives way to a soft center that pairs beautifully with powdered sugar or warm maple syrup. Perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a festive brunch spread.

Laura's Signature Æbleskiver
  1. 1

    Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and egg yolks; stir until the batter is smooth.

  2. 2

    In a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should make soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until incorporated.

  3. 3

    Set an Aebleskiver pan over medium heat; grease each cup with cooking spray. Fill each prepared cup with batter to about 2/3 full. Cook until golden brown on each side, using a toothpick to flip, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
