“Eggs” in a Shredded Wheat Nest recipe

⚠ Note: for metric to imperial (or vice-versa) conversion please refer to our article on Cooking Measurements 101. 4.7161

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon banana extract

3 eggs

1 cup milk or half and half

4 Tablespoons salad oil

28 (each 1/4-inch thick) banana slices

Instructions:

NOTE:A special appleskiver pan is required for this recipe.

Blend together all but banana slices. Note:If using a new appleskiver cast iron pan, it must be seasoned before use. Use salad oil to oil molds in pan, or spray pan with cooking spray. Preheat pan and cook at 300 degrees.

Fill each mold in pan 1/2 full. Immediately, place 1 banana slice on top of batter in each mold. Push banana into batter. Cook about 5 minutes. The time depends upon the size of the molds in the pan. Add just enough batter to cover banana. Cook until top batter is firm. With a knitting needle or ice pick, loosen around edge of mold; insert needle into “egg” (appleskiver) and turn over. Cook until slightly brown, 3 or 4 minutes. Remove with needle.

The best presentation is made when served in a 4- to 5-inch diameter shallow white bowl, creating a “nest” effect. Line approximately 8 bowls with broken shredded wheat. After “eggs” are cooked place them in the shredded wheat nests. Makes approximately 3 eggs per nest. Serve with a favorite syrup.

Serves: 8

Hint:Keep first batch of “eggs” warm while making extra batches. This is similar to making pancakes. It is not difficult but takes a little practice. Good luck! Appleskivers may be served in lieu of pancakes. Different fillings may be used.
