Week 46 - Honey Glazed Buttermilk Ebelskivers

This week's recipe didn't exactly go as planned.  Simple enough recipe, or so I thought.  It came from my Ebelskiver Cook Book.  It's a simple pancake batter with a honey glaze.  You start by melting butter in the wells of an Ebelskiver pan, then add a bit of honey to each well, then batter.
So here's what happened so you don't make the same mistakes I did.  The first batch I made burned because the heat was too high.  It was set to medium high heat.  The second batch was perfect and delicious.  I ran the pan under cold water to cool down the pan after the first (disaster) batch and lowered the heat of medium low.  The third batch I made was also on medium low heat but burned again. 

Note to self, burnt honey does NOT taste good!

Either the pan got too warm, or there was leftover honey from the previous batch that ended up burning.  Whichever it was, I would suggest cooling the pan and wiping it clean in between batches.  Jó étvágyat!

Honey Glazed Buttermilk Ebelskivers
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
pinch of salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup honey

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks, buttermilk and 2 Tbsp of the melted butter. 
3. Combine the egg yolk mixture with the flour mixture until combined.  It will be slightly lumpy.
4. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until nice and frothy, then fold in to the batter until combined.
5. Brush the wells of the Ebelskiver pan with the remaining melted butter and place the pan over medium low heat. 

6. Pour 1 tsp of honey into each well.  When the honey starts to bubble, add about 2 Tbsp of the batter to each well.

7. Cook until the bottoms of the pancakes are lightly browned and crisp (about 4-6 minutes).  Then, using wooden sticks, I use chopsticks, turn the pancakes and continue to cook for a few more minutes.  Keep checking to make sure they don't burn!
