Aebleskivers

We recently saw an intriguing product in the Williams-Sonoma catalog: an æbelskiver pan. When we visited our friends Tara and Jason in Denmark, Jason raved about these little Scandinavian pancake balls. But somehow we didn't eat any on our trip. Since I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets, I bought a cast iron æbelskiver pan and tried them out.

The traditional filling is apple slices (hence the name), but you can use whatever you like. These had chocolate, strawberry jam and jalapeno jelly.

They are often a holiday treat in Denmark, and although they are not considered a breakfast food in that culture, we ate them as such. Even Anders was a fan!
