Classic Æbleskiver (Powdered Sugar)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
While the filled version is a treat, this classic unfilled Æbleskiver is all about the perfection of the dough. Without jam to distract, the vanilla and buttery notes of the souffle-like interior shine. Traditionally served with a cloud of powdered sugar and a side of jam for dipping, allowing everyone to control their own sweetness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Separate eggs. Whip whites to stiff peaks in a clean bowl.

Tip: Any grease or yolk in the whites will prevent whipping.
2 ✓

Beat yolks with sugar and vanilla until pale. Add salt, melted butter, and milk.

Tip: Blanching the eggs and sugar creates the structure.
3 ✓

Sift in flour and baking powder; mix until smooth.

Tip: Aim for a thick pancake batter consistency.
4 ✓

Gently fold in egg whites with a spatula.

Tip: Don't stir; fold to keep the air in.
5 ✓

Heat greased pan. Fill wells almost to the top.

Tip: Since there's no filling, you can use slightly more batter.
6 ✓

When bottoms set, rotate 90 degrees with a stick. Continue rotating until spherical and golden.

Tip: Serve fresh with a heavy dusting of powdered sugar.

Recipe FAQ

Why did they flatten?
You removed them too early (raw center collapsed), or you overmixed the whites, deflating the bubbles.
Keeping them warm?
Keep them in a 200°F (100°C) oven on a baking sheet until all batches are done.
