1. Combine buttermilk, flour, egg yolks, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry, and fold into batter.

3. Pour approximately 1/2 teaspoon oil into each round of an ebelskiver skillet. Heat and fill rounds 3/4 full with batter. Add 1/2 teaspoon applesauce to each, and then a bit more batter to barely cover the applesauce.

4. Turn when bubbles appear on top of each cake.

5. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar, adding butter and maple syrup or jam. Plan on 3 ebelskivers per serving. Note: Jam or lemon curd may be used instead of applesauce.
