Old-fashioned æbleskiver
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1⅓ cups plain flour
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp cardamom extract (or ½ tsp ground cardamom)
- lemon juice and grated lemon zest (optional) (Instead of the cardamom extract.)
- apple, in small pieces
Method
- Whisk the eggs, sugar and milk together well.
- Then add the dry ingredients and melted butter (and the cardamom extract, or the lemon juice and zest) and mix well.
- Heat an eplaskífur pan (a pan with round hollows, also sold as an æbleskiver or ebelskiver pan) and grease each hollow with butter. Fill the hollows about two-thirds full.
- Push a piece of apple into each one in the pan.
- Turn them with a knitting needle or skewer once the bottom has set, and cook until golden brown all over.
- Serve dusted with icing sugar (and with jam).
