Aebleskiver are a traditional Danish dessert or snack – in Denmark they are eaten most often in the winter time. It’s hard to find them in the U.S., but it’s one of my favorite things to get when I visit Solvang, CA – a beautiful and quaint Danish Village just a little north of Los Angeles. Aebleskiver are light, fluffy and have a lovely golden crust on the outside – they are best described as a mix between a pancake and donut hole. You’ll need to use an Aebleskiver or takoyaki pan, they are pretty quick and easy to make, especially if you’re using Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Pancake Mix.

Ingredients

1½ Cups Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Pancake Mix
1 Cup Milk
1 Large Egg
3 Tablespoons Butter, melted
Vegetable Oil

Method

1)
Pour 1 Cup Milk, 1 Large Egg, and 3 Tablespoons melted Butter into a blender and blend on medium speed for 1 minute (instead of a blender, you can also hand whisk vigorously for several minutes, it should look foamy and bubbly). In a mixing bowl or glass Pyrex measuring cup, 1½ Cups Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Pancake Mix, pour in the milk mixture and stir until there are no lumps.
2)
Heat the aebleskiver pan on med-low to medium heat and brush about ¼ Teaspoon of oil into each mold. Once the pan is hot, pour batter to fill 95% of the mold. The pan should be hot enough that you hear sizzling. You’ll be rotating the Aebleskivers about 3 times to get that perfectly round shape. When you see small bubbles in the batter, use two skewers to rotate them about half way up, then continue to rotate until the aebleskivers are golden brown. (Watch Carol Peterson, the owner of The Solvang Restaurant, demonstrate how to cook & rotate them here) Brush more oil to each mold before cooking more aebleskiver. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your favorite jam or chocolate spread. Enjoy!
