Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (for greasing the pan)
- 0.5 cup jam or preserves (for filling, optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Heat an ebleskiver pan over medium heat. Lightly grease each well with a small amount of neutral oil using a brush or paper towel.
Once the pan is hot, fill each well about halfway with the batter. If adding a filling, place a small amount (around 1/2 teaspoon) of jam or preserves in the center of the batter, then top with a bit more batter to cover the filling.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form around the edges and the bottoms are golden brown. Use a skewer or a small spatula to gently turn each ebleskiver over to cook the other side.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown all over and cooked through.
Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Repeat the process, greasing the pan as needed.
Dust the finished ebleskiver with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy them warm, either plain or with additional jam or syrup on the side.
