We’ve certainly gone to our share of Farmer’s Markets. When you’ve been around, you learn a few things.
If you’ve ever gone to a farmer’s market and smelled the flowers and homemade soap…
and tasted the apples and peaches and thumbed through the old books…
and sampled the 47 different treats that can be made with a pumpkin…
then you also probably also know that the best time to go to a farmer’s market…
is when the trees look exactly….like….this.
Everybody knows that.
Ask around.
One of our family’s favorite New Year’s traditions is to make a Danish filled pancake dish called Ebleskievers.
We love to fill them with jam or chocolate chips–for the sweet version…
…or fill them with bacon and scrambled eggs for the savory breakfast!!
Either way–
it’s kind of criminal to only make these lovelies once a year!
My mother bought the pan when I was a kid in the little Danish town of Solvang, California, but you’ll be happy to know that you can buy these pans almost anywhere–William Sonoma, Walmart, or even on Amazon. Now that’s not so scary, right?
Ingredients:
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups milk
Beat egg yolks; beat in sugar. Combine dry ingredients. Add alternately with butter and milk. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Fold into batter. Grease ebelskiver pan with about 1/8 tsp. butter in each well. Heat pan on medium. Fill depressions with about 1 tablespoon of batter. Add a half teaspoon of jelly, fruit, or chocolate and cover with a bit more batter.
When cooked on bottom, turn with skewers or two forks. Cook other side. Regrease pan between batches. If desired, dust with powdered sugar. Eat them before anyone catches you in the kitchen. heh, heh, heh.
You won’t be sorry.
Never heard of such a thing, but oh, my–it makes sense. Where do colors come from in the first place, hmmm?
Painting with flowers, and loving every second.
Natural Mother Magazine fabulous find. Go there.
