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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat an ebleskiver pan over medium heat. Lightly grease each well with a small amount of neutral oil using a brush or paper towel.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown all over and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Repeat the process, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 9

Dust the finished ebleskiver with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy them warm, either plain or with additional jam or syrup on the side.
