so tender and light. not quite a donut, not quite a pancake, not quite a muffin. we ate ours with powder sugar, strawberries and whipped cream. the little balls are so cute and the batter is so easy to make.

A boyfriends mom introduced these to me first by making breakfast for us one day. I talked about them so much that my mom bought a pan for me on a trip to Solvang in Calfifornia. Since then (about 8 years or so), I made them every time we had company, and now I make them at least once a month for my boyfriend and I. If you don't have buttermilk, the boxed buttermilk pancake mix works well to. I use a long wooden skewer for turning, forks never worked out right for me. It's try adding a piece of sliced fruit in the center before turning. Break them open when still hot and your favorite toppings melt into yummy gooiness. My favorite toppings are butter, peanut butter or Nutella, my boyfriend loves cream cheese in his.

Never use oil, only butter in the pan. The name in danish is Æbleskiver which means Appleslices (I know they're not slices, but that's the name). So if you want to make them like we do in Denmark, and always have done, you need to put a piece of apple in every one of them. When they're done cooking on one side put a small piece of skinless apple in to the middle, turn them around with a knitting needle to finish cooking them on the other side. You can also use applesauce instead. Time to eat them, dip them in your favorite jam (we use jam from nordic berries like strawberry, my favorite), then dip them in icing sugar, eat and enjoy. We're not only eating them at Christmas but at any occasion. More traditional Christmas cookies are ``Klejner (don't know what to call them in english)´´ and ``Pebernødder (peppernuts)´´. I'll post recipes later.

Outstanding recipe!! I tried this with some twists you may like. I left the basic recipe intact as it's perfect. I put about a teaspoon of oil in each well of the pan instead of a tablespoon. I then caramelized some apples in a saute pan. I added the diced apple chunks to the batter after I poured it into the monk pan (abelskiver pan). I also made some with ham and cheddar, havarti, chocolate chips. Simply add whatever additional ingredients you like after you pour the batter in the wells of the pan (sprinkle them on top of the wet batter). Then let them cook per the recipe and flip and cook the other side. This is by far the best recipe I have tried for these treats!!

I've had very good results using this recipe. I think beating the egg whites and folding them in is what makes the difference. My daughter loves making these and does a better job turning the 'skivers than I do!

I was looking for an aebleskiver recipe with buttermilk and this fit the bill. I substituted applesauce for the butter and then used butter instead of oil in the pan. Worked great. I also filled mine with a bit of jam. Not sure about using two tablespoons of batter for each one. I used one tablespoon for each and they were the perfect size.

Found an aebleskiver pan at a local thrift shop...I was the only one who knew what it was since I grew up near Solvang, CA, home of Arnie's Famous Aebleskivers. So the first time I made this was a total flop, because the cast iron pan was not seasoned yet. I have found that for this recipe to work for me, the pan has to preheat for 20 min or so (Put the pan on, then mix up the ingredients) - also, I have to put oil in the cups each time I start a new batch of 7 balls. The knitting needle approach works best for me. I wait for the edges to look a little dry, then turn the doughball 1/4 turn, allowing the next bit of batter to spill out and cook. They aren't perfectly round like experts make, but they're getting there, the more often I make these. This has become our special Saturday morning breakfast. I need two pans now, to make it go faster!

Some of my fondest childhood memories center around my Great Grandma making these for us. I have inherited her pan but have lost her recipe. This is pretty close and is delicious! If you haven't tried this yet, it is a must!

I'm trying to learn about the Danish culture and my family. Growing up my mother would make Aebleskiver for breakfast every weekend and it is similar to this recipe. My favorite way to eat it is with syrup, powdered sugar, fruit and orange juice. Velkommen Venner! Welcome Friends in Danish.

My mother was danish and we all loved our special meals of Aebleskiver. When she passed away I got her pan, but didn't know how to use it until I found this recipe. My brother & I prepared it for our families on Christmas morning and it was just like mom used to make! It will now be part of Christmas morning family tradition in our home.

We never used Aebleskiver's for Advent but did have them as a special breakfast on New Year's Morning and loved them with a dolop od Raspberry jam in the middle and warm Raspberry sauce over the top, or powdered sugar. Also, a little to much oil, try using a pastry brush with butter, works great.
