Gluten Free Aebleskivers Happy Birthday Honey!

So, my husband's birthday was yesterday.  I managed to make him a Chocolate Souffle, and yes the recipe was WW!  This morning he requested aebleskivers.  For those of you who aren't familiar, these are also called poffertjes...little dutch pancakes.  They are eaten in Denmark and Holland...and you can find them a few other places as well.  When my husband was first diagnosed with celiac over a year ago, he made some that turned out quite nice...but this year I made the attempt.  I think I need more practice turning them...but all in all they turned out great!  I used a half recipe and the flour blends are from the Gluten Free Baking by the Culinary Institute of America...here is the recipe

2 separated eggs (beat whites until stiff, use yolks in batter)
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp veg oil
1 cup buttermilk (I used the substitution of 1 tbsp vinegar with rest milk to make 1 cup)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup flour (for you that can eat gluten, that works, for those gluten free it was about half flour blend 5 and half flour blend 4)

Combine all of the ingredients except the egg whites...beat those til stiff and then fold into the batter.  The batter will be thinner and bubbly...just a little thinner than pancake batter.  Then heat your pan, you need a special one, and spray with cooking spray, once hot, then fill the holes about 3/4 way...and good luck.  Mine weren't as pretty as I would have liked...maybe using the two sticks to turn wasn't the way to go and a tablespoon or something would have worked better.  You can sprinkle with powdered sugar, top with butter and maple syrup...or if you live close to huckleberries...huckleberry syrup works quite nicely!
