Similar to Donut holes or Pancakes in flavor, aebleskiver is a unique breakfast or dessert that you are sure to love! Just add a sprinkle of powdered sugar and enjoy!
We Love This Holiday Tradition!
The aebleskiver is a dish that comes from Denmark and is pronounced “ay-bluh-skee-vr”. In Danish Æbleskiver means “apple slices”. The little pastries were once made with small pieces of apples in the center and are a traditional dessert most often served during the Christmas season. Why we love them:
Quick. They’re ready to enjoy in about 30 minutes! Easy. The batter is simple and straightforward. Tasty. These Danish pancake balls are similar to airy and larger donut holes.
Just be sure to order your aebleskiver pan ahead of time so you’ll be ready to go!

Whip up a batch as an addition to this Breakfast Charcuterie Board.
Avoid burning. Be sure that the aebleskiver pan does not get too hot otherwise the outside will burn before the center is done cooking. Season the batter by mixing in some cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or cardamom. Filling. The jams can be slathered on top or used as a filling and inserted into the center. Toppings. Eat plain or dust with powdered sugar, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a slather of Strawberry or raspberry jam, Honey Butter, Chocolate Gravy, Cinnamon Butter, or Strawberry Sauce.
