Fun kids’ breakfast

So if you’re like us and you watch the PBS Sprout channel with any regularity, you may have seen the commercial for the “Pancake Puff” pan, which has six small wells into which you pour batter to make puffs of all styles: pancake, brownie, and even pizza. I’ll pass on the last two–we’re strictly an Ebleskiver family. Ebleskiver is a Danish pancake ball that we’ve been making in our family since I was a child. And these little drops of heaven are a great treat for kids. They’re different from “normal” breakfast, which makes them fun, and they can be topped with any number of goodies: syrup, powdered sugar, jam, warm berry compote, whipped cream, and more. They’re also fairly easy to make:

INGREDIENTS

* 5 eggs
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 2 cups flour
* 2 cups milk
* 4 teaspoons baking powder
* 5 tablespoons melted butter

Separate the eggs. Combine the yolks and other ingredients, and blend with a beater at low speed. Whip the egg whites and then fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the pan per manufacturer’s instructions, turning Ebleskivers over with a small fork as they set and turn golden brown.
