Æbleskiver
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Æbleskiver (Danish) or Poffertjes (Dutch) are traditional cakes, somewhat similar in texture to American pancakes. Æbleskiver are cooked in an Æbleskiver pan, a cast-iron pan with several semi-spherical indentations in the bottom of the pan, giving the cakes their round shape. They are often cooked with bits of apple (Æble) or applesauce inside. Poffertjes are flatter, are not filled, and the pans they are made in have shallow, non-hemispherical depressions. Æbeleskivers are very sweet and are traditionally served with Gløgg.
