Author Notes
Aebleskivers are a Danish pancake ball. These were my favorite breakfast meal while I was in college. I learned about this delicious breakfast treat from my boyfriend's Danish family, and from the little Danish village of Solvang, CA near the University California, Santa Barbara. These are fairly simple to make. They are cooked in a cast-iron pan with small craters, sort of similar to an egg poacher. The pans are easy to find, and very affordable. These are such an adorable variation on traditional hotcakes! They're always my favorite to serve when I have guests for brunch. Lingonberry jam and powdered sugar are our favorite way to eat these, but any fruit preserves, maple syrup, or even just butter go perfectly with these fluffy, light, round pancakes! —skylinetothesea
