Preparation

Preparing the Æbleskiver Batter

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks, then add milk and melted butter, mixing well.

Combine wet and dry

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients until combined.

Preparing the Egg Whites

Beat egg whites

In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Ensure no yolk is mixed with the egg whites while beating!

Fold egg whites

Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, maintaining the fluffiness.

Use a silicone spatula to gently fold for best results.
