Delicious Æbleskiver Recipe - Authentic Norwegian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or fruit filling (for filling, optional)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the batter

    In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter batter.
  2. Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

    Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature for better mixing.
  3. Mix wet and dry

    Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.

    Lumps are okay; they will disappear during cooking.
  4. Heat the Æbleskiver pan

    Preheat your Æbleskiver pan over medium heat and lightly grease each cup.

    Use a non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Æbleskiver

    Pour the batter into each cup, filling them about 2/3 full. Add chocolate chips or fruit filling in the center.

    Turn them with a skewer when the edges start to firm up.
  6. Finish cooking

    Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes total.

    Keep rotating until evenly cooked and golden.
  7. Serve warm

    Serve Æbleskiver warm, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by jam or syrup.

    Enjoy them fresh for the best taste!

💡 Tips & Tricks

Serve with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Use a skewer to flip them easily. Experiment with different fillings for variety.
