Aebleskivers

My grandma is Danish and she taught my dad how to make aebleskivers.  He would make them for special breakfasts, mostly just on Christmas.  They were a special treat, since it took my dad a long time to make enough aebleskivers to fill everyone up.

Aebleskivers are a Danish pancake/popover.  You make them in this special aebleskiver pan. .  

My parents gave me my own pan for Christmas a few years ago.  I haven't made them for a while.  I decided to make them for breakfast during spring break since I had a little extra time.  My kids loved them.

We spray them w/I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Spray or smear some real butter inside them and dip them in jam or maple syrup.  Yummo!  

This recipe tastes more like a normal pancake tastes. I've seen lots of recipes for aebleskivers with apples and other stuff in them, but I've never tried them before.  I like to stick to my traditional family recipe.

I filled the pan a little too full on this batch, but look at our round and fluffy they are.  
It's easier to turn them over if they are smaller like these.  Don't mind the messy pan.  It's a messy job, making aebleskivers.

recipe from my dad and my grandma

3 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1 T. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt.

Separate eggs.  Beat egg whites until stiff and set aside.  Beat yolks seperately till light.  Add milk.  Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt.  Mix flour into egg yolk mixture.  Fold in egg whites.

Spray aebleskiver pan with cooking spray (like PAM).  Spoon a small amount of batter into each indentation of the pan, but not all the way to the top.  Let cook for a few minutes, then turn with a fork or a knitting needle.   Cook another minute or two.

Eat immediately.

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It will be a little sticky, b

The Best French Bread I've Ever Made

This is the best french bread I've ever made.  I got this recipe from my friend, Nikki, who gave us some of this bread as a thank you for my hubby helping them move a piano.  I remember it being delicious and we gobbled it up fast.  I was intimidated for some reason by the recipe and waited a few years before I made it. We needed some bread for to make some turkey, provolone, avocado sandwiches, so I made some of this bread and it was perfect!  We sliced one loaf like they do at Subway.  Then later I made normal shaped sandwiches with the rest of the bread.  Delicious... light and fluffy and yummy! Update 2/22/12: This is still my favorite bread after making it for a year! It turns out perfect every time and it's gone in a flash! printable recipe French Bread recipe from my friend, Nikki Yield: 2 loaves   Ingredients 2 c. warm water 1 pkg (or 1 heaping Tbsp.) yeast 1/4 c. granulated sugar 1 T. olive oil

Don't like your house to smell like food? I've got a kitchen tip for that!

I have a smallish, one story house and if I cook food that is kind of smelly, like onions, the smell tends to linger in every room.  This is a pet peeve of mine and (also my husband's).  Over the years I've found a few ways to cook smelly food without smelling up the kitchen. Use your garage!   I use my garage quite often to cook things in.  I open the window and it airs out, especially when you open the garage door.  I'm sure my neighbors wonder what I'm cooking. I've used two different kitchen appliances in the garage:  my crockpot and my food dehydrator. Crockpot - I did this very thing today since I'm simmering chicken, onions, carrots and celery to make chicken noodle soup tonight.  I don't want my house to smell like onions all day, so I plugged it in on my husband's workbench.   Food dehydrator - when I make jerky, I plug the food dehydrator in in the garage.  I don't really want my house to smell like meat for hours
