Aebleskiver is a Danish dessert, like doughnut holes, but sweeter and much better. It's traditionally served with glogg during the Advent and cooked in a cast iron pan that resembles an egg poacher. Serve hot with syrup, jam, or powdered sugar.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Beat egg whites in a clean glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Mix together buttermilk, flour, egg yolks, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; beat until smooth. Gently fold in egg whites.
Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Put about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the bottom of each cup.
Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared cup. As soon as bubbles appear around the edges, turn them quickly. (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work.) Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.
