Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 whole large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0 optional filling (e.g., jam, Nutella, fruit)
• 0 powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat an ebleskiver pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil to each well, ensuring the entire surface is coated.

Step 5

When the pan and oil are hot, spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each well. If using a filling, place a small amount (e.g., 1/2 teaspoon of jam or Nutella) in the center, then top with another small spoonful of batter to cover the filling.

Step 6

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottoms are golden. Use a skewer or chopstick to flip each ebleskiver halfway, allowing the batter to flow and form a round shape.

Step 7

Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, flipping occasionally with the skewer, until evenly golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the ebleskivers from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining batches. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches.

Step 9

Dust the finished ebleskivers with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy plain or with extra toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
