Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an electric aebleskive pan, according to the manufacturer's directions.
Step 2
Beat together eggs, buttermilk, and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and cardamom into egg mixture until evenly blended and smooth.
Step 3
Spoon 1 tablespoon of shortening into each cup of the preheated aebleskive pan, and allow oil to heat. Pour batter into each cup until 3/4 full. Allow batter to cook in the bottom of the cup, 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Then 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 batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.
