hello from denmark. uhh these aren’t called ebleskivers… they’re called æbleskivers, because the translation is “apple slices” and apple in danish is “æble” and slices is “skivers”. i hope you fix this because this is making me go insane…

As a Dane, I can tell you that the correct spelling is aebleskiver 🙂 Yours look wonderful! Thank you for this beautiful blog and these delicious recipes.

I came across your beautiful blog and thought I would enlighten you a little bit on Æbleskiver (which is the right spelling of the word) since I am Danish and have eaten a ton of these in my life. The word Æbleskiver is the plural form of æbleskive which, directly translated, means “apple slice”. The name comes from the old-timey æbleskiver that actually had a piece of apple inside them (plus they are kind of apple shaped, so the name just sticked during the post-apple era, I guess). In Denmark we usually eat them around christmas dipped in jam and powdered sugar.

In reply to Sarah. I forgot to add that you can also eat Æbleskiver at the Festival of Nations celebration in May. I also noticed your friend uses a spoon to form her Æbleskiver as she makes them. I have never used anything other than a knitting needle. And my recipe calls for cardamom, lemon zest, and beer.

In reply to jenebene. Thank you so much! I'll keep a look out for that pan. And I'll have to check out the breakfast, too. :)

The best Æbleskiver pans are made by Griswold Cast Iron and you can periodically find them on eBay, at flea markets and thrift stores. They have the deepest cups in the pan and make the roundest Æbleskiver. Don’t purchase a cheap one if you are really going to get into them. You’ll be disappointed (the cups are very shallow). BTW: The Danish American Center has monthly Æbleskiver breakfasts….I believe the next one is April 21. Located at 3030 West River Parkway S (just off of Lake St). Bon appetit!

In reply to Lisaa T. Thank you Lisaa! I did look at Target last time I was there, but didn't see any. I'll keep trying. :) And the pancake pen sounds like a good idea! Much easier way to do things. :)

Hmm. This is news to me as well. Anything with a name like “ebelskivers” warrants a trying forthwith. Also…new site! Pretty! & I’m going to say the boring but true thing: your photos rule. Ruuule.

The pans are available at Williams Sonoma. I received one a few years ago and it has become a family tradition to make “pancake balls” weekly for my six year old son. I make a buttermilk mix but add mini chocolate chips to the middles (put half batter in pan, sprinkle a pinch of chips in the middle, and cover with the rest of the batter). We freeze them for easy breakfasts throughout the week.

Oh, I’ve also seen a cheaper pan at Target! I want to say it was nordicware brand?

A useful gadget is the “pancake pen”, a squirt bottle kind of thing to distribute the batter in the holes of the pan. I’ve also used the pen for cupcake batter!
