It’s impossible to visit Solvang without trying their famous Aebleskivers, a delightful breakfast treat that dates back for generations. To make this delicate Aebleskivers recipe at home, however, requires a special cast iron skillet and a steady hand — you have to carefully turn the battered balls with a skewer or knitting needle on all sides until they turn a delicate golden brown.
Most likely, your first batch of Aebleskivers will be a disaster. It does take patience. But the reward is well worth it — these little pancakes, dotted with powdered sugar and served with a dollop of blackberry jam, literally melt in your mouth. I promise you won’t be able to eat just one!
Following is a recipe for Aebleskivers from my wife’s Scandinavian relative, Stella Burgson, who was a professional chef back in Wisconsin during the early 1900s. You can buy an Aebleskiver pan through most well-stocked kitchen supply stores, or on Amazon.
Serve your Aebleskivers with a selection of lemon curd, lingonberry jam, maple syrup and apple sauce.
