aebleskiver (dutch)

Combine milk and egg yolks. Sift together dry ingredients and add to milk/egg mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.

Heat aebleskiver pan and put about 1 tsp. oil in each cup of the pan.

When very hot, pour enough batter in each cup to almost fill it. Use knitting needle (or any pointed tool) to turn aebleskivers. Keep turning them until golden brown. Add shortening as needed for each new batch.

Yield: About 3 dozen.

By the way -- I started making these because my husband is Dutch, and Holland considers aebleskivers -- which they call "Poffritches" -- a great delicacy!" From: joyced@...
