Blueberry Ebelskiver - Æbelskiver (Danish Filled Pancake) image

**You will need an Ebelskiver pan for this recipe.** These light, fluffy pancakes make a delicious breakfast treat paired with lingonberry or raspberry jam. Be adventurous, sub out the blueberries and try chocolate chips, diced bananas, raspberries, etc.... My Fav? Banana/Walnut.

Time 30m

Yield 30 ebelskiver

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lemon, zest of
3 egg yolks
5 egg whites
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 pint blueberries
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a batter pitcher or bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and lemon zest. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk and ricotta.
  • Whisk the yolk mixture into the flour mixture until well combined; the mixture will be lumpy. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff but not dry peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the whites into the batter in two additions.
  • Put 1/2 teaspoons butter in each well of a ebelskiver pan.
  • Place over medium heat and heat until the butter begins to bubble.
  • Pour 1 Tbs. batter into each well.
  • Place 4 blueberries in the center of the batter and top with 1 Tbs batter.
  • Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Using 2 wooden skewers (I use chopsticks), turn the pancakes over and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter and blueberries.
  • Dust the pancakes with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
  • For a savory variation fill Æbelskiver with a well chilled butter with herbs cube, grated aged cheese, or pieces of bacon or ham and omit the dusting of powdered sugar.
