How to make Aebleskiver (Danish Christmas donuts) and our family traditions!

Recipe courtesy of my Dearly-Departed-Danish-Father-in-Law, who was born in 1914 (not 1918 as I said...)

For 30 æbleskiver (Danish Christmas donuts) you will need:
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
a quarter litre/250mls/1 cup of kærnemælk (buttermilk)
200 mls/just under 1 cup of milk or cream (I'd go with cream, DH used milk - boo!)
250g or 2 cups of plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½-1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Mix the first five ingredients (eggs, sugar, salt, buttermilk, milk or cream) in a large bowl until it's fairly frothy. Easiest with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder and ground cardamom. Make sure it's well mixed, then leave to rest for about 15 minutes.

Heat up your donut pan, put a tiny bit of oil or butter in each of the holes and fill each hole about two-thirds of the way up (they will swell up). When there are lots of bubbles on the surface of each donut, flip over. In DH's family the tradition is to use knitting needles... But a skewer will do! :-)

When the little donut balls are browned on both sides remove from the pan.

Serve warm with icing sugar (or granulated sugar) and jam.

To eat them the Danish way:
put a spoonful of (icing or granulated) sugar and jam on to your plate
put two or three donuts on to your plate
dip the donuts into the sugar and jam on your plate
Repeat until you are full... Hope you enjoy them!

The donuts can be frozen.
