Danish Aebleskiver (Ebleskiver) Pancake Puff Pan 7 inch Cast Iron

A holiday in Denmark often begins with a breakfast of puffy little pancake pastries called aebleskiver (ebleskiver).

Traditionally, they are made with an apple filling or served with applesauce (hence their name). Like other great pastries, wonderful variations have evolved. You'll love aebleskiver pancake puffs with jam fillings and cream cheese fillings.

If you can make pancakes, you can make aebleskiver with this pan.

• Simple recipe--like pancake batter.
• Fill with fruit or cream cheese--even meats--or serve plain.
• Turn in the pan with toothpicks, a fork, or skewers.
• The total cook time is only 2 1/2 minutes.
• Great for summertime cooking--pastries without the oven.

Make aebleskiver like these and more (see the gallery of images).

• Aelbeskiver filled with jam
• Donut aebleskiver, with no filling
• Corn cake aebleskiver filled with cubes of cheese
• Blueberry aebleskiver--the blueberries are added to the batter, not filled, and then drizzled with a lemon glaze.
• Chocolate aebleskiver--filled with chocolate kisses and drizzled with fudge ice cream topping.

You can make aebleskiver with any of our pancake mixes. Folding a whipped egg white into the batter will make them crisper, but that's not necessary. 

The corn cake aebleskiver are savory, not sweet. You can serve them with jalapeno honey or Riotous Raspberry Jam.

This little cast iron aebleskiver pan will last a lifetime.

• Heavy cast iron will not break or warp.
• 7-inch diameter pan.
• Cook seven aebleskiver at a time.
• Stovetop pastries in minutes--no need to heat the oven.

Baker's notes:

• This pan is smaller than our other aebleskiver pans, only seven inches across, but you can still make seven at a time, and it works fine. This is a heavy, quality pan weighing just over three pounds.
• These filled pancakes are not too sweet. With most recipes, there is little or no sugar in the batter. The filling and a dusting of powdered sugar adds enough sweetener.
• For soft fillings such as jams, whipped toppings, and marshmallow cream, you can use a decorating set or pastry bag. Just insert a star or tube tip and press.
• These aebleskiver can be made with pancake mixes. Instead of adding the egg called for in the directions, fold in the beaten egg whites from three large eggs.

Aebleskiver are great little Danish pastries--pancake puffs--that you can make in a few minutes on your stovetop.

From the manufacturer:  

• First, wash your new pan using hot, soapy water.
• Season your cast iron pan before using it by coating with vegetable oil (peanut, grapeseed or canola) over the inside surface up to the rim.
• Place oiled pan upside down on baking sheet and bake oiled pan in the oven for approximately one hour at 350°F/175°C. Remove from oven and let cool. Wipe off excess oil. Pan is ready to use.
• To clean use very hot water and a scrubbing brush, then dry. If you use soap you will need to re-season the pan after washing it.
• To store spread a light coating of oil on inside surface of pan.
