Food Porn: Aebleskiver Madness!

Ok, one last thing and I'll stop reflecting on the holidays and the new year. I promise.

For Channukah, TWB's mom bought me a nicer version of the aebleskiver pan that I budget found a while back (see how I turned that into a verb?). Anyhow, I've been experimenting with it quite a bit, and to (what I have considered) great success! So far, I've made a breakfast variety with caramelized apples as well as dessert varieties with chocolate and whipped cream.

I've done chocolate outside and cream inside, and I've also done the reverse--both have their pros and cons, but they're beautiful either way. With that, here's some food porn for your weekend--and the recipe follows!



Aebleskiver Batter

What You Need...
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar (add more for dessert varieties)
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • About 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
What You Do...

In one bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In another, melt the butter and add the wet. Combine and bake with very low heat in a special, cast iron aebleskiver pan like the one shown here.
