Ingredients
- Good quality boxed pancake mix or homemade pancake batter ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, egg, melted butter or oil
- Creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter
- Classic grape or strawberry jelly or jam, or raspberry jam, apricot jam, mixed berry jam
- Milk
- Egg
- Oil or butter for greasing
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your batter: If using a boxed mix, follow the package instructions. For homemade batter, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt) in one bowl, and wet ingredients (milk, egg, melted butter/oil) in another. Combine and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat your pan: Place your aebelskiver pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease each well with oil or melted butter.
- First batter pour: Pour about 1.5-2 tablespoons of batter into each well, filling it about one-third to halfway. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
- Add the fillings: Carefully dollop about ½ to ¾ teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each pancake, followed by about ½ teaspoon of jelly or jam on top.
- Seal the poppers: Pour another small amount of batter over the filling to cover it completely.
- Cook and turn: Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Use skewers or chopsticks to turn the poppers 90 degrees and continue turning until fully round and golden brown.
- Remove and repeat: Carefully remove the poppers from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
- Serve warm: Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately.

Keywords: Ensure your batter consistency is just right, not too thin or thick. Keep the heat on medium-low to avoid burning the outside before the inside cooks. Experiment with different nut butters and jams for variety!
