I recently stumbled across Aunt Else's Æbleskiver , I was immediately intrigued, I had never heard aebleskiver before but decided to give it a try. What it is a traditional spherical pastry Danish treat, somewhat similar in taste and texture to an American pancake, but light and fluffy like a popover. They are traditionally filled with a slice of apple, but can be made to suit a range of tastes from sweet to savory, and are often topped with syrup, jam or applesauce.
Æbleskiver - pronounced EB-el-sku-wyr , get it's name from a Danish word meaning apple slices due to it's traditional filling.
Aunt Else’s recipe has been in their family for over 100 years using Mid-western organic wheat flours and buttermilk. They are made on the stove top in cast iron pans designed to make perfectly round pastries.
- Aunt Else's offers their own high quality, locally made 9-hole cast iron æbleskiver pan that comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
I must say that I really liked this pan and have already been thinking of additional uses for it.
The instructions on making Aebleskiver are a little intimidating especially for a novice, such as my self. Luckily, They had a very easy to follow instructional video that I was able to use as my guide.
Make æbleskiver like a pro with AE's instructional video!
The first batch that we made were slightly overcooked, but the next batch turned out perfect.
We opted to use Ghirardelli Milk chocolate squares as a filling and topped with powdered sugar. They were really good and easy to make.

There would be so many great variations you could make! I'd probably start with some blackberry jam.Thanks!
I would try a Jam and cream cheese filing.

How tasty it would be with chocolate chips and toffee bits. It would almost be like a candy bar.
How awesome! I'd probably go for blackberries or other fruits, just because that's how I like my pancakes.

I actually grew up making Ebleskivers. They are really yummy. The hardest part is when you have to turn them. I like to make them with strawberry jam or applesauce in the center.
