TO MAKE EACH ÆBLESKIVER RECIPE: Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, lightly mix together the wet ingredients with a fork. Pour over the dry ingredients and whisk quickly until just combined. Try not to stir the batter again after this.
Heat the æbleskiver pan over low to medium heat with ½ to 1 teaspoon of butter or oil in each cavity. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, fill each cavity almost to the top.
Cook until a crust forms on the batter. Using a thin wooden skewer, turn the æbleskiver 90°, letting the batter spill over. Once a skin has formed, the æbleskiver will turn easily. Turn again in a different direction and then a last time to close up the sphere. Spin the æbleskiver around until evenly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it comes out mostly clean.
Serve right away or keep the æbleskiver warm in a 200°F (100°C) oven.
TO SERVE: Serve the æbleskiver warm with the guacamole and black bean salad.
