For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cardamom or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Aebleskiver are best served immediately while they are still warm and fluffy. If you don't have an Aebleskiver pan, you can use a regular skillet to make small, thick pancakes. Buttermilk adds a unique tanginess. If you don't have it, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Don't overmix the batter after folding in the egg whites; a few lumps are okay. Serve these with a variety of toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or even Nutella.
