Equipment

  • Aebleskiver pan

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup milk scalded
  • 4 cup flour
  • 1 pkg yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1 tsp cardamom optional

Filling

  • 50 tsp Nutella 1 tsp per aebleskiver

Plain aebleskivers

  • Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup with melted butter and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, flip them over (In Denmark they typically use a knitting needle to flip, but you can use a chopstick, toothpick or a fork). Continue cooking, turning the ball until is is golden brown all the way around and is cooked through (like a pancake). It might take a couple tries to get the feel for it, but once you do you will be flippin' aebleskiver like it's nobody's business!
  • Serve with jam or syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Filled aebleskivers: Examples include prune, apple or apricot filling, raspberry jam, nutella and more

  • Partially fill pan cups with batter. Drop about a teaspoon of filling into the middle. Fill remaining cup with batter.
    Bake until the edges are bubbly. Turn (using a fork, knitting needle, or toothpick) and continue turning until evenly browned and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
