How to Make Ableskiver Danish Doughnuts

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat the ableskiver pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the wells with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour approximately 1-2 tablespoons of batter into each well of the hot pan.
