ingredients
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄3 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- vegetable oil
- powdered sugar
- apple syrup
directions
- Beat the 2 egg whites in medium-sized bowl until stiff, but not dry. Reserve. Combine 2 egg yolks, buttermilk, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, vanilla, and melted butter in a different bowl, mix until smooth. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Pour about 3/4 teaspoon oil into each round of an aebleskiver pan and heat over medium-high heat on top of stove. Add a heaping tablespoon of the batter, or enough to fill each round about three quarters full. When bubbly around the edges, turn each round upside down with chopsticks or a fork. Continue cooking, turning frequently, until rounds are golden on all sides and done in the middle, about 5 minutes. Remove each cake as it is done and drain on paper towels. Keep warm and in an oven at 200 degrees until all the rounds are cooked.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with apple syrup.

Look no further - this is it! These were so yummy and just as I remember my grandmother making them. I tried turning them with chopsticks and a fork as suggested - but grandma's way worked out the best: toothpicks aka cocktail prickers. Also I thought the cardamom might be noticeable but it was just perfect :) Thanks SeriousMoms
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Well, my real name is Brenda, and I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys (ages 6, 5, and 4) and 1 baby girl. I homeschool my boys during the day, and I enjoy cooking with them. I love cooking and trying new things. I like fast, easy recipes for dinner, but I also like more complicated, elegant dishes. We entertain often, so I am always looking for something new to fix. I sent several recipes into the Pillbsbury Bakeoff Contest a few years ago, so I spent a month or so inventing recipes. I will post those here soon. :) I have a son who was born 3 months premature (26 weeks gestation) and is now too skiney (at 6 years old) and sensetive to the texture of his food. I always like finding high calorie foods that he will actually eat!
In my "spare time" (ok, 1 night per week!), I design and maintain a website: SeriousMoms.com. I LOVE this site. I look forward to working on it every week. I've made several pages on my site that link to many Zaar recipes--like my Cupcakes page, and my Christmas Gift Ideas, and Recipes for Romantic Dates at Home. :)
Lately, I've been enjoying "The Sneaky Chef" with my kids. It WORKS! :) They like all of the recipes so far!!
For fun, I also enjoy scrapbooking. I'm currently working on my daughter's baby album.
We love adoption! We've adopted 2 of our kids--Noah (3) and Ruby (our baby). It's not always easy, we have struggles (we didn't get Noah 'til he was 14 months, so he has a lot of anger built up in him), but we love it nonetheless. It is a blessing to us to be able to see these kids grow, and to not know what they're going to look like or be like, and to just fall in love with how different they are from us & how those traits never could've come from us. :)
