Aebelskiver - Danish Pancake Balls
Aebelskiver are traditional Danish pancake balls, known for their small, round shape. Originally made by the Vikings, they have since become a beloved breakfast and festive dessert in Scandinavia. They are cooked in a special pan, which helps achieve the perfectly round shape. The inside is light and airy, with a slightly crispy exterior. Aebelskiver are often served with powdered sugar, jam or honey, and are a favorite treat for family gatherings and Christmas celebrations in Denmark.
