Ingredients

To whip up a batch of these tasty treats, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Instructions

Now that you have everything ready, let’s get started:

  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  4. If you want to add a fruity twist, you can fold in some jam or fruit preserves at this stage.
  5. Heat your Aebleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each round indentation with butter or oil.

  7. Using a skewer or chopstick, carefully turn each Aebleskiver over to cook the other side. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy.
  8. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set them on a serving platter.
