Sage Goat Cheese Ebelskivers Makes 21

1 recipe “Basic Batter”

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

21 small fresh sage leaves or 2 1/2 Tablespoons of any chopped fresh herb you desire

3 1/2 Tablespoons chilled and crumbled goat cheese

- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees to keep the finished pancakes warm as you continue to cook the rest.

- Prepare the batter. (If using chopped fresh herbs, add to the batter)

- Brush the wells of the ebelskiver pan with some of the melted butter and place on the stove top over medium heat. With the butter starts to bubble, carefully lay 1 sage leaf on the bottom of each well, then add 1 tablespoon batter.

- Working quickly, carefully spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the goat cheese into the center of each pancake and top each with another 1 tablespoon of batter.

- Cook until the bottoms of the pancakes are lightly browned and crisp, 3-5 minutes. Use two wooden skewers to turn all the pancakes and cook until lightly browned on the second side, about 2-3 minutes longer.

- Transfer the finished pancakes to a platter and keep warm in the oven.

- Serve immediately.

- Enjoy!

Basic Batter

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, separated

1 cup whole milk

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour sugar, baking powder and salt.

- In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.

- Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and, using a wooden spoon, stir until well blended. The batter will be lumpy.

- In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.

- Using as silicone spatula, fold about one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then fold in the rest just until no white streaks remain. Use the batter right away.
