Ingredients
Batter
- 300 g (2 cups) plain flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk
- 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
- 100 g melted butter, plus extra for greasing
- icing sugar, to serve
- raspberry jam, to serve
Fried apple
- 75 g unsalted butter
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2 apples, peeled, cut into 1 cm cubes
Instructions
For the fried apple, melt the butter and sugar in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the apple pieces and cook, shaking the pan occasionally for about 6-8 minutes or until softened.
For the batter, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until well combined, then whisk in the milk and vanilla seeds to combine. Whisk the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients just until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the batter until combined.
Place the aebleskiver pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter. Fill each hole with the batter and push a few pieces of apple into the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden, then using a couple of toothpicks, carefully flip them over in the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples.
Dust the aebleskivers with icing sugar and serve with raspberry jam.
