Flea Market Find

[Kevin A]

Just picked this up at the local flea mart for $5.00




Now all I need is a good aebleskiver recipe.

Score!


This isn't a recipe per se, but it IS making me hungry...

The batter for æbleskiver usually includes wheat flour, which is mixed with buttermilk, milk or cream, eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt. Some recipes also include fat (usually butter), cardamom and lemon zest to improve taste, and a leavening agent, most often baking powder, but sometimes yeast, to aerate the batter.

Batter is poured into the oiled indentations and as the æbleskiver begin to cook, they are turned with a knitting needle, skewer or fork to give the cakes their characteristic spherical shape. They were traditionally cooked with bits of apple (æble) or applesauce inside but these ingredients are very rarely included in modern Danish forms of the dish. Æbleskiver are not sweet themselves but are traditionally served dipped in raspberry, strawberry, lingonberry or blackberry jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Hah!! I picked up its brother for $3.00!! First time I have ever bested Kevin's deals.
Total outlay was $20 and the waffle iron was $12 and I got an old grate. There must be some place Doug can use it in one of his creations.

Every time I hear about another sinkhole, I look to see if it was caused by somebodies cast iron collection..........

Kevin - We found a similar pan at a yard sale so of course we had to buy it. I googled for info on the internet and came up with several recipes and hints about cooking them. I have used the recipe that calls for sour cream instead of buttermilk because it seemed easier. Have only made 2 batches and still experimenting. I use a bamboo skewer stick to turn them over. Better be hungry when you whip up a batch because 1/2 a recipe makes about 30. Happy cooking.

[Dale M.]

Here is recipe.....

Ebleskivers - makes about 18-21

1 cup flower.
1/2 tsp baking soda.
1/2 tsp nutmeg.
Pinch of salt.
2 or 3 egg - separate - add yolks to dry ingredients.
Egg whites beaten stiffly and added last. Fold in gently.
1 cup buttermilk or enough to make a batter consistent to pancake batter.

If using a dry buttermilk substitute add dry ingredients together then
enough liquid (see substitute package) to make consistent to pancake batter.

Drop by spoonful into hot greased pan.

Try adding a drop of jelly into each one before turning.

And grandma could not spell Ebleskivers....

Nice find Kevin, Dennis is that a trivet in your picture?

It is the register from an old heating system according to the Cast Iron Forum. It will end up being used as a trivet. I have promised it to one of the forum members

Kevin:

You can find out more than you want to know from the baker who popularized them in Salvang, CA at http://www.aebleskiver.com/index.html
