  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but still pourable.
  4. Heat the Aebleskiver Pan: Preheat the pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

  5. Cook the Aebleskivers: Using a spoon or ladle, pour the batter into each well of the pan, filling about three-quarters full. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom turns golden brown.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Using a skewer or chopstick, carefully flip each aebleskiver over and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove the aebleskivers from the pan and serve immediately with your preferred toppings like extra sour cream, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Pan Substitute: If you don't have an aebleskiver pan, you can use a regular skillet or a round pancake mold, but the shape may not be as perfect.
  • Toppings: Feel free to experiment with toppings like powdered sugar, fruit compote, or even savory fillings such as cheese or bacon.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.aebleskiver recipe with sour cream
