Eierkoeken Recipes

EIERKOEKEN (EGGCAKES)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.
• In a second bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture and mix thoroughly.
• (Mixture will be heavy and stiff).
• Using a gravy ladle, spoon mixture onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving room for melting around each dollup of dough.
• Bake in 400 degrees F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

EIERKOEKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F/180°C.
• Beat the eggs with the sugar until the crystals have dissolved.
• This may require the addition of a little warm water.
• Add vanilla.
• Add sifted flour and baking powder.
• The dough should be the right consistency for piping.
• If it is too stiff add a little warm water but this should not be runny.
• Pipe small round shapes on a cookie sheet lined wih baking paper, dust with icing sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes.

PANNEKOEKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and apples to a pan. Saute the apples over medium-low heat until slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the batter. Mix the milk, vanilla and eggs in a bowl. Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt and whisk lightly (some lumps are ok but not too many).
• Increase the heat under the apples to medium and add the brown sugar and butter. Cook until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes, then add the batter all at once to the center of the pan. Swirl the apple syrup mix through the batter, using a heatproof spatula, to form ribbons (you do not want to fully combine the apple-sugar syrup into the batter). Cook until small bubbles form around the edge.
• Finish cooking the pannekoeken in the oven, 12 minutes. To serve, invert a 12-inch plate over the pan and flip the pan to turn out the pannekoeken. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream and enjoy!
