Old Fashioned Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes
I was first introduced to Aebleskiver Pancakes in my home town at a little Danish diner.  I looked and looked for a pan so I could make the same little bites at home.  I finely found it at a tourist place called Solvang in California.  Mind you this was before Amazon so ordering it was not even in my mind set.  I no longer live in that town and am happy that I have this pan so my husband and I can still enjoy Old Fashioned Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes at home!

How to Make Old Fashioned Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes Days in Advance

Old Fashioned Danish Aebleskiver Pancakes
As amazing as these little pancakes are they are a little time consuming. Sure you can make 8 at a time but….they are only 1½ inches wide which makes them the perfect pop in your mouth treat but also means someone who would typically eat three pancakes can pop half a dozen before they know it. So…..here is the solution. FREEZE THE PANCAKES!

HOW TO FREEZE AEBLESKIVER PANCAKES

When it comes to preserving these mini pancakes for a later date the process is simple. Place the pancakes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place flat in the freezer. Wait until the pancakes are completely frozen. Transfer to a freezer safe container or zip top bag. EASY! Now you have mini pancakes whenever you need them. Take out only a few at a time or all at once. Will stay fresh in the freezer up to 3 months.

HOW TO REHEAT FROZEN AELESKIVER PANCAKES

Preheat oven to 275°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot.

The Pan

For this recipe you’ll need a special pan (pictured below).  The pan is cast iron, when seasoned it will last forever!  I’ve had mine for over 20 years and it still looks great

Toppings

Not only are these pancakes great for breakfast but they are also great as a mid morning snack.  Sprinkle on some powdered sugar and you’re set.  Or… take a small container of maple syrup, honey, jelly or my favorite apple butter.  They’re good plain or dipped.  For special occasions you can make your own sauce!  Click here for the recipe—->>>>BLUEBERRY SAUCE  or SLOW COOKER APPLE BUTTER.
