Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs, then whisk in the 1.5 cups milk and 2 tbsp melted butter until combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just smooth; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Heat an æbleskiver pan over medium heat and brush the wells with the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
Step 5
Pour about 2 tbsp of batter into each well, filling almost to the top. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Use a skewer or fork to turn each pancake ball a quarter turn, then continue turning until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes total.
Step 7
Serve the æbleskiver warm with the 0.5 cup maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
