Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed cooking spray or additional melted butter
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a pancake puff pan (aebleskiver pan) over medium heat. Lightly grease each cavity with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Fill each cavity of the pan about 3/4 of the way full with batter.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottoms of the pancake puffs are golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
Use a skewer, fork, or chopstick to carefully flip each pancake puff. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and puffed.
Remove the pancake puffs from the pan and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancake puffs warm with your choice of syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, or jam. Enjoy your fluffy, golden treats!
