I have been experimenting with variuos recipes for aebleskivers and have 
found one that has become the favorite of my family. Most recipes for these 
use baking powder and soda for leavening but we prefer them made with 
active dry yeast. For those of you not familiar with this delightful 
delicacy they are a crusty ball made with pancake like batter and served 
sprinkled with powdered sugar and whatever other sweetner such as jam or 
syrup. They are often called the "Danish Doughnut". They do require a 
special pan for baking on the stove top.

Mix together:

1 1/2 C flour
1 envelope yeast
1 Tbls. sugar
1/2 tsp cardamom

Heat 1 C milk with 4 Tbls. butter to 115 F and add to dry ingredients, 
mixing well.  Stir in 2 egg yolks, one at a time, then add grated lemon 
peel from 1 lemon.  Beat two egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold, a 
third at a time, into the batter. Let batter rise in a warm place for about 
20 minutes before using.  Fill each cavity with the batter and when the 
bottom side is nicely browned, carefully turn each one over to cook the 
other side.  Enjoy!!
