My mom sent me her aebleskiver pan!

It looks like this, enamel on cast iron:



I don't think I've eaten any aebleskiver in fifty years but I'm excited to try them again! But now, I'll have to do all the work, instead of begging Mom to make them

1. I have one of those around here somewhere. Now I know what I was doing wrong.

2. A family tradition!

We grew up with Mom and Grandma spending a day preparing the dough in a big turkey roasting pan, covering it and leaving it to rise overnight. Then they'd spend half a day making the aebleskivers. Every Christmas morning our breakfast was aebleskivers and hot cocoa. I'm no longer able to make them myself, I simply cannot stand for any length of time. So I gave my skirted cast iron pans to my nephew and his wife, and now they make them.

Our recipe came from the great-grandparents who were immigrants from Denmark, and there is nothing on earth that has that delightful aroma. My sister, God bless her, finally found a way to reduce the recipe; the original made enough to feed whole neighborhoods. Nowadays, I get to enjoy aebleskivers when I go visit for Christmas, a sweet hello from family long gone.

Enjoy!

5. That sounds like good advice! I'm making a note of it right now

4. We have plain cast iron one.

Haven’t used it it years.

What a lovely memory those kids will have of helping their dad make aebelskevers.

6. I remember eating them -- but my mom remembers them being a lot of work

7. When I stayed in Holland we ordered panckaes

since it was on the menu and we were feeling like we needed some "home cooking" after living away for many months. My friend and I got our order and we were surpised when we saw these round puffs of joy.

8. I just saw a video on You Tube

and she got a pan for $12. I read the comments and the comments from the Danes said to use butter, not oil. They also mention similar treats from Japan which has squid and stuff cooked inside them. I saw Anthony Bourdain eat these on Parts Unknown or No Reservations.

9. Regarding butter, sugar, and other healthful Danish dietary habits, perhaps I should say

that (to the best of my recollection) many of my relatives in Kobenhavn were shaped surprisingly like aebleskiver

10. I think half of the US is also shaped that way.
