Ingredients
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 1 bag earl grey tea
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ TBS melted butter, divided
Cream Cheese Filling
  • 2 oz neufchatel cheese (reduced fat cream cheese)
  • ½ tsp powdered sugar, plus more for garnish
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Blueberries
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Splash water
Instructions
  1. Heat milk in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until very warm. Steep the earl grey tea in the hot milk for 5 minutes. Discard/compost tea bag.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, separate egg and set the whites aside for whipping. Beat the egg yolk and add 1 TBS melted butter and the earl grey stepped milk. Stir until smooth.
  4. Mix together the flour mixture and the milk mixture. Batter will be lumpy.
  5. Using a hand mixer or an electric mixer, beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
  6. Carefully fold egg white into the batter.
  7. Mix together all ingredients for the cream cheese filling.
  8. In a small sauce pan, heat the blueberries with a splash of water until the berries are burst and the mixture is saucy, about 5-8 minutes.
  9. Place your ebelskiver pan over medium heat. When water just starts to sizzle on contact, brush 3 wells with melted butter. Place about 1 TBS batter into the greased wells. Scoop about 1 tsp cream cheese mixture on top of the batter. Cover the cream cheese with more batter until the well is filled. Repeat with 3-4 more wells. (working in smaller batches yields better texture)
  10. When bubbles start to form on the surface, flip the pancakes with wooden skewers. Cook 1-2 more minutes or until the batter is set and golden brown.
  11. Repeat with remaining batter and filling.
  12. Serve ebelskivers with blueberries.
