Prepare the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

2

Heat the Æbleskiver Pan

Place the Æbleskiver pan on the stove over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or melted butter to each well of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat for a few minutes until the oil or butter starts to sizzle.

3

Fill and Cook the Pancake Balls

Using a spoon or a squeeze bottle, carefully fill each well of the Æbleskiver pan about three-quarters full with the prepared batter. As the batter starts to cook and set around the edges, use a skewer or a knitting needle to gently flip each pancake ball onto its side. Continue rotating the pancakes balls until they're golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

4

Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the cooked Æbleskiver to a serving plate and dust them with powdered sugar. Serve them warm with your favorite fruit compote, jam, or syrup. Grab a fork, take a bite, and savor every fluffy and delicious moment!
