To cut down on prep time for this dish, I buy a deli-roasted chicken from our neighborhood grocery store. Vegetables can be changed to your preferences. Serve with a bottle of wine and a loaf of crusty french bread.

Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 dash ground nutmeg
- 1 dash ground cloves
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
- Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don’t forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it’s all about rotation! Use a long skewer or knitting needle to lift one edge and give it a 1/4 turn. The uncooked batter will spill over into the cup, and cook. Continue lifting and turning the edges until the batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.
- These are also great filled. Try with chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, jam, honey, Nutella(R), peanut butter, coconut, cranberries, raisins, blueberries, and pie fillings (not the most nutritious but definitely yummy.) Simply fill the cup about 1/3 full and place the filling in the center of the pooled batter.

Reviews
The batter was nice and thick. I used it for regular pancakes instead of Danish pancakes. Ended up doubling the recipe because my boyfriend loved them so much! Definitely saving to used again. Side note. I used wheat flour. Not whole wheat or plain.
Maybe if I make them again they will be better. I didn’t have milk so I used something else. They tasted like a biscuit to me. They were not bad.
These look lovely. They puff up nicely…because of the huge amount of baking powder. However, that it literally all you taste, the icky baking powder bitterness. I won’t be using this recipe again.
I remember these from my childhood in Germany where they were eaten around New Years. I agree with one of the other people that the whole wheat flour in this recipe makes it to heavy. I used half white and half whole wheat and found they tasted close to what I remember! Mind you next time ( and there will definitely be a next time) I will make them with only the white flour as they are suppose to be a sweet treat!
In my experience aebleskivers taste almost like a crepe. These were dense and bready, more like spherical pancakes. Next time I’ll add more egg and liquid to the batter. Might have to separate and beat the egg whites.
They taste really great with the spices in them and love that it has the whole wheat flour. My whole family loves these with chocolate in them!
this was wonderful. Our family adds fruit pie filling and whipped cream.
excellent and easy!
I thought this recipe was very good. I used half whole wheat flour and half white flour and doubled the recipe. I filled them with apricot jam and some with chocolate chips or nutella. Sprinkled them with a small amount of powdered sugar. All were very good. I will save this recipe and make again.
I love aebleskivers, but the whole wheat flour in this recipe makes them super dense ( not a good thing). They were solid balls of dough, not the fluffy, donut-like consistency I associate with aebskivers. Using whole wheat flour sounds like a great idea because it will make it healthy, but I don’t think it’s worth it… These have lots of butter and sugar in them anyways, so they’re not going to be a health food… Perhaps a Better, and much tastier option, is being sure to serve them with lots of fruit on the side. I don’t recommend this recipe, at least not with whole wheat flour.
As a teenager my friends would get together and have Aebleskivers made by one of the grand Mother of one of the kids. We loved them hot with butter in the middle of the round pancake. I’m excited about making them again.
My first try at aebleskivers and it was sooo easy!!! The taste was light AND flavorful. Fun to make…. I filled pan wells 1/2 full then added 1/2 tsp homemade jam & topped off with 1 tsp of mix. I am so excited I want to make them for dinner & breakfast. You could add little chuncks of link sausage or apples or …. whatever! Possibilites are endless. GREAT RECIPE!!!
