Aebleskiver (Round, Filled Danish Pancakes)

Recipe #232875 | 30 min | 30 min prep | add private note

This Danish delicacy is served in many Danish-American homes, including mine. A special pan is needed; even though new pans are available, many cooks favor the old cast-iron pans, which are handed down from generation to generation. You can get them at many scandanavian specialty stores, and can also order them online. In Denmark, aebleskiver is served as a dessert with sugar or marmelade. On the island of Aero, a small sliver of prune is put in the middle as they are cooked. There are many different recipes, and this one is my family's favorite. We put a little jam, preferably lingonberry preserves, in the middle of our aebleskivers as they are cooking, before turning them, and we eat them with sweetened cinamon-sugar applesauce. You will need a little practice in turning these doughnut-like treats. A fork works, but some practiced "turners" use a knitting needle, preferably wooden, or a similar device such as an ice pick. Even a toothpick will do.

I've heard about aebleskiver and how good they are, so I ordered the pan from Amazon.com, then tried this recipe. They're delicious! It was my first time making them, so the first few came out a little flat, but the rest came out perfect. I tried turning them with a chopstick, but that was too messy. Then I tried an ice pick and that worked beautifully. I used nutmeg in the batter, which tastes great. Next time I may try the cardamom for different flavor. Thanks for the recipe. My family loved them, and I know I'll be making them often!

    Really had fun making this for my DGSs this weekend, and low and behold these 2 very picky eaters finished them off. We put some butter scotch chips in the center when they first started to bubble and before we turned them as that's a very favorite flavor for these two. Sprinkled with powder sugar and a little whipped cream. They begged for ice cream too but afraid that would be a little over the top. Enjoyed this very much and will make again. Thanks AB Edited to add - I used 2 toothpicks to turn and had no trouble, found it to be pretty easy with a well seasoned pan.

    These were great just dipped in warm syrup. Turning them definitely takes practice, but once you get it right they are fun. I found that using a small ice cream scoop is a good way to get the right amount of batter into the pan. I can't wait to make them again and try filling them.

    I filled some with strawberry jam and they were wonderful. Thanks for the fun breakfast recipe! I did however find that the recipe made more like 36 to 42. Maybe my pan is smaller. But it served 5 with many leftover.
