Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
- jam (optional filling)
- powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are fine.
Preheat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each cavity with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Fill each cavity about 3/4 full with the batter. If you want to add a filling like jam, spoon a small amount into the center of each portion of batter and cover it with a little more batter.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom of each ball is golden brown and the batter starts to set around the edges. Use a skewer or chopstick to gently turn each aebleskiver halfway, allowing uncooked batter to flow out and create a ball shape.
Continue to turn the aebleskiver every 30 seconds to a minute until they are evenly golden brown on all sides and fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes total per batch.
Transfer cooked aebleskiver to a plate and keep warm while repeating the process with the remaining batter.
Dust the finished aebleskiver with powdered sugar and serve warm. They are delicious on their own or paired with syrup, jam, or fresh fruit.
