Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes)(You Must Have A Special Aebleskiver Pan To Make These.) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. buttermilk
2 c. flour
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
2 tsp. sugar
melted mixture of 1/2 vegetable shortening and 1/2 butter (for cooking)

Preparation

Beat egg yolks.
Add sugar and salt; mix well.
Add flour, soda and baking powder together.
Mix well.
Fold in stiffly-beaten egg whites last.
Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium to medium-high heat.
Add a little of the melted mixture to each hole in the pan. Fill each 2/3 full with batter.
Turn as they cook with a potato nail or short skewer, so they form round balls once they are done cooking.
These are traditionally served sprinkled with powdered sugar, but we usually add the regular pancake toppings.
