Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 whole large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- optional filling (e.g., jam, Nutella, fruit)
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat an ebleskiver pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil to each well, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
When the pan and oil are hot, spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each well. If using a filling, place a small amount (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon of jam or Nutella) in the center, then top with another small spoonful of batter to cover the filling.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottoms are golden. Use a skewer or chopstick to flip each ebleskiver halfway, allowing the batter to flow and form a round shape.
Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, flipping occasionally with the skewer, until evenly golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the ebleskivers from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining batches. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
Dust the finished ebleskivers with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy plain or with extra toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
