Æbleskiver

My fabulous sister-in-law, Amy Glemser, introduced me to these delightful Danish snacks. She would often make them for breakfast on special occasions. I had to get this recipe from her when we moved away so we could continue to enjoy them. These are particularly yummy with apple butter, raspberry jam, powdered sugar, etc.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup butter, melted
3 cup water
3 Tbsp yeast
6 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 + 1/8 cup milk powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp cardamom
3/4 tsp salt
6 cup flour

Directions

1. Melt butter and add half of water and vanilla. Set aside.
2. Use 1/2 of water to dissolve yeast and set aside
3. Combine dry ingredients and mix together.
