Begin heating your Aebleskiver pan on medium heat.
Combine flour, eggs and salt and mix thoroughly in a mixer.
Gradually add buttermilk (it is important to do it gradually or it will be very lumpy).
Mix until not lumpy then ADD BAKING SODA. I almost always forget this step. If you forget, you will notice in the first batch that it doesn’t rise, that is your sign that you forgot the soda. They do not taste good without the soda!!
Place a small amount of shortening in each cup of the pan. You will need to do this each time before putting batter in.
Fill each cup about 3/4 full (I use a 1/4c measuring cup to scoop it)
Allow to cook till you think the one side is golden brown then use a fork to roll it so the other side can cook till golden as well. Repeat till batter is gone.
Serve warm dipping in sugar, jam, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or syrup… So many things to try. Find your favorite combination. Enjoy!
