Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your ingredients and mixing the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl. This blend of dry ingredients will create a warm and inviting base for your pancakes. Next, add in the lightly beaten egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until everything is just combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

2. Step 2

   Now, it’s time to heat up your aebleskiver pan over medium heat. To ensure your pancakes don’t stick, give each cup a light spray with cooking spray. This little step will make flipping those fluffy balls a breeze!

3. Step 3

   Once your pan is ready, pour the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full. This is where the magic happens! Let the batter cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, and remember which cup you started with—it’s all about the rotation!

4. Step 4

   Using a long skewer or a knitting needle, gently lift one edge of the pancake and give it a quarter turn. You’ll see the uncooked batter spill over into the cup, where it will continue to cook. Keep turning and lifting the edges until the entire pancake is golden brown and cooked through. It’s like a little dance of deliciousness!

5. Step 5

   Once cooked, carefully drain the aebleskiver on paper towels to remove any excess oil. These delightful treats are best enjoyed warm, so gather your family and friends and serve them up with your favorite toppings!
