Aebleskiver (or æbleskiver) are round Danish pancakes that are made in an aebleskiver pan. They can be filled with jam or chocolate, and are typically topped with a dusting of powdered sugar, fruit preserves or maple syrup.
I have a thing for Scandinavian recipes. Most notably, traditional Norwegian recipes, because I love recreating the recipes my grandmother used to make for Christmas and special occasions.
I’m not as familiar with traditional Danish recipes, but I can appreciate good aebleskiver.
Why Danish pancakes? Why not just make regular pancakes?
Because pancake balls > pancakes
If you like pancakes, you’ll like aebleskivers.
You might actually like them more than pancakes, because who doesn’t like cute, bite-sized food?
WHERE TO BUY AN AEBLESKIVER PAN
You will need an aebleskiver pan to make Danish pancakes.
I found this aebleskiver pan in a thrift shop! Lucky me.
You may be able to find one of these pans at a thrift shop or antique store, but your most reliable option is to purchase it online. Use this link:
I recommend a non-stick aebleskiver pan for easy turning and cooking.
I also recommend using a lot of butter so the aebleskiver don’t stick to the pan. See recipe instructions, below.
