🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 as desired Optional fillings (e.g., jam, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit)
• 1 as desired Powdered sugar (for dusting)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

3. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

4. Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with oil or butter.

5. Fill each well about two-thirds full with the prepared batter.

6. If using optional fillings, add a small amount (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon of jam or a few chocolate chips) to the center of the batter in each well, then top with a small amount of additional batter to cover the filling.

7. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until the edges begin to set and the bottoms are golden brown. Use a skewer, fork, or chopstick to gently turn each aebleskiver halfway, allowing the uncooked batter to flow into the pan. Cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side until evenly golden and cooked through.

8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary between batches.

9. Transfer the cooked aebleskivers to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings or sauces!
