- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 large eggs (yolks and whites separated)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted (plus more for cooking)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla and whisk to combine.1 cup whole milk, 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon until blended. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.2 large eggs
- Add a third of the beaten egg whites to the batter and fold in to combine. Then add the remaining beaten egg whites and fold in just until combined.
- Brush a bit of melted butter into each of the wells of your ebelskiver pan. Heat the pan on the stove over medium heat. When the butter begins to bubble, the pan is ready to cook the ebelskivers.
- Spoon a heaping Tablespoon of batter into each well. Working quickly, spoon about 1 teaspoon of Nutella on top of the batter in each well, and then top each with another Tablespoon of batter. Cook the ebelskivers until the bottoms become golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.½ cup Nutella
- Using wooden skewers, gently turn each ebelskiver over by pushing down on one side of the pancake with one skewer and using the other skewer to turn the pancake over. Cook them for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Use tongs to remove the pancakes from the pan.
- Add more butter to the pan and cook the remaining pancake batter using the same method.
- Once cooked, dust the ebelskivers with confectioners’ sugar and serve hot.

Notes
If you’re cooking for a crowd, you can keep the cooked ebelskivers warm on a tray in a 200°F oven while you cook the additional batches.
Storage: Ebelskivers, once cooled, can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Briefly reheat the pancakes in the oven (for a crispier pancake) or the microwave (for a softer pancake) before enjoying.
If you've filled the ebelskivers with something other than Nutella that requires refrigeration, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
