Ebelskivers

  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2 T. sugar
  • 1 T. Cardamon
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 2/3 c. sour cream
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 2 T. melted butter


  1. Whip egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
  2. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine, except the egg whites.
  3. Heat ebelskiver pan and put small amount of butter in each well.
  4. When butter sizzles a bit, pan is ready.
  5. Fold egg whites into combined batter.
  6. Drop about a tablespoon of batter into each well, being sure the batter does not fill the well more than 2/3.
  7. Keep heat between medium and low temp., and gently pull ebelskivers up and turning as they bake. It will take about four or five turns, with baking time of about 1/2 minute between turns, for the ebelskivers to be baked completely.
  8. Gently open one ebelskiver from each batch to be sure it is baked before serving.
  9. Ebelskivers may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven, while all batches are baked.
  10. Serve with applesauce, sour cream and brown sugar. Ebelskivers can also be served with jam, lemon curd or other accompaniments. Some recipes also put a small sliver of fruit inside the ebelskiver, and that will increase baking time.
Serves: 4      Total cooking time: 15-20 minutes
