I cannot take credit for this recipe. It was given to me by my brother- in-law who got it from his mother-in-law. This is a very special breakfast treat that takes some effort, but worth it! My kids love these and ask for them all the time.

Ingredients
  • 1 package dry active yeast
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 tbs. salt
  • 2 tbs. sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 3 eggs (separated)
  • 5 tbs. vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar (to roll in when finished)
  • Note: you can't make this unless you have an ableskiver pan

Directions
  1. This first part needs to be done the night before you want to make these:
  2. Mix yeast with warm water and set aside
  3. In a large glass or plastic bowl mix milk, salt, and sugar
  4. Add yeast mixture and flour to milk mixture and mix well (you can do this by hand with a wisk or with a hand mixer on low speed)
  5. Mix in egg yolks and oil
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge overnight
  7. Do this in the morning:
  8. Beat egg whites to almost stiff peak stage
  9. Fold egg whites into refrigerated batter
  10. Over medium heat, fill each cup in buttered ableskiver pan to just below full
  11. Turn 1/4 of the way over with fondue fork, bamboo kabob stick, toothpick or whatever works for you (it takes some practice to know when these are ready to turn, in my experience they are ready to turn when the edges just start to separate from the sides of the pan)
  12. Turn again the rest of the way over so that all sides are browned
  13. Roll in sugar and enjoy

Mmm.sounds good!


My mother and grandmother always filled their's with applesauce...delicious! I haven't pulled my abelskiver pan out of the cupboard in years (it's so darn heavy!), but you've prompted me to rethink that...they are wonderful little bites of heaven, and you've made me very hungry for them again...thanks for sharing your recipe!


This sound intesting. I had to look up aebleskiver to know what they were. Looks good!


Oh now this sounds good! I don't know where my abelskiver pan is packed! have to look for it! got my 5


This recipe is WAY better than any abelskivers made with baking soda. Try them both ways and you will never make them any other way again. Easily doubled for larger groups. Yummy! Thanks for sharing a great recipe.


Hi! We had these this morning! Really good. Had to break in the pan and get used to the turning technique.
