My dad was born and raised in Denmark and he used to make aebleskivers for us all the time. He always put jam in the centre then after they were cooked he rolled them in icing sugar. My dad would use a skewer and poke it into it and he flipped them really quickly. I have 3 of these pans.
I've never seen ebelskivers made this way! They're usually flipped so they are hollow inside. Fill the wells and cook until the outer layer is cooked then you flip it part way when that cooks you flip it again using skewers or knitting needles. Continue flipping and cooking until you have a full sphere that is hollow in the center. That is the point of the hemispherical wells in the pan. Yours probably still taste all right but they're not true ebelskivers!
Thank you! My mom gave me her cast-iron ebalskaevers pan a few years ago. I'm great full that you do these videos. Also I'm not sure how to spell it correctly 🤔 cheers!
My dad (Danish born and raised) would sometimes add apples or apple sauce in the centre. The correct pronunciation puts the emphasis on the A not E. Aebelskivers. (sounds like "ableskeeva").
I will be happy to share a post on puffed pancakes in the future, which I'm guessing are what you are referring to as a "German pancake"?
