Danish Aebleskiver (Danish Doughnuts)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Danish Aebleskiver (Danish Doughnuts).

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your electric aebleskiver pan according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a mixing bowl and whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until the mixture is beautifully smooth and well combined.

3. Step 3

   Next, gently fold in the flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and fragrant ground cardamom, stirring until you have a silky batter that’s ready to shine.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Spoon about a tablespoon of melted vegetable shortening into each cup of your preheated aebleskiver pan, letting it heat up and create a lovely non-stick surface.

5. Step 5

   Carefully pour the batter into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for that delightful puffing up.

6. Step 6

   Let the magic happen as you cook the batter for about three to four minutes, or until the bottoms turn a gorgeous golden brown.

7. Step 7

   Here comes the fun part! Using a long skewer or a knitting needle, gently lift one edge of the aebleskiver and give it a quarter turn.

8. Step 8

   This will let the uncooked batter flow into the cup, ensuring even cooking.

9. Step 9

   Keep turning and lifting the edges until your aebleskivers are perfectly golden brown all around, creating that irresistible round shape we all love.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re cooked to perfection, place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.

11. Step 11

    Enjoy these delightful treats warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of syrup, and watch them disappear in no time!.
