Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 4
Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease each well of the pan with vegetable oil or melted butter.
Step 5
Fill each well of the aebleskiver pan about three-quarters full with the batter. Allow the batter to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and bubbles form on the surface.
Step 6
Using a skewer, chopstick, or small offset spatula, gently turn each aebleskiver halfway to allow batter to flow out and create the spherical shape. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the aebleskiver from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve the aebleskiver warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or fill the centers with jam or Nutella. Enjoy!
