Aebleskiver Poffertjes

Submitted by Lille

"Danish-Dutch fusion cuisine. The recipe for the batter is typically Dutch (yeast raised) but the filling of jam is quite Danish. Try Cherry-Strawberry Preserves for the Bread Machine ABM (http://www.recipezaar.com/311376) for the filling. I use an aebleskiver pan, which has larger indentations than a poffertjes pan. The batter recipe is adapted from Let's Go Dutch by Johanna van der Zeijst Bates."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 24-30 pancakes

ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour (white whole wheat works well)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk, lukewarm
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1⁄4 cup jam

directions

1. Combine flours, salt, yeast, sugar and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir with a whisk to combine.
2. Add milk and egg and stir to make a smooth batter.
3. Cover bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about an hour until bubbly and somewhat risen.
4. Stir down batter and heat an aebleskiver pan. Spray with non-stick spray or melt margarine or butter in the indentations.
5. Fill the indentations with batter. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jam on batter (it will sink in). Let cook for about 2 minutes until bubble start to form around the edge. Flip over with a skewer. Cook for an additional minute or so until done.
6. Garnish with powdered sugar to serve.

My Mom found a Poffertjies pan in a box in her basement but no one had a recipe until I found yours. Just like my Dutch Oma used to make, my Mother thinks they might even be better. My Danish Hubby and our kiddies love them too. Thanks for a recipe that brings me back to my childhood.
