  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt (optional)
  • 8 teaspoons baking powder
  • 8 eggs (separated)
  • 1 1/2 cups cream

  2. In a mixing bowl beat the egg yolks well, then add the cream and milk. Mix into this the dry ingredients that have been sifted together.
  3. Beat egg whites until they’re stiff, and carefully fold into batter.
  4. In hot Aebleskiver pan, put 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in each cup. Then spoon or pour in batter just to the top of each cup.
