Nordic Ware Danish Ebleskiver Pan

We use it EVERY weekend! Easy, Tasty, Fun!
We have used this pan every weekend for a year. Don't bother making mix from scratch - Hungry Jack's "just add water" pancake mix makes wonderfully light and fluffy Ebelskivers. We add blueberries and raspberries to our Ebelskivers (fresh in season, frozen but thawed in warm water the rest of the year).

Yes, it is nonstick but I find a little butter is necessary to keep the Ebelskivers from sticking if they have fruit in them, plus the butter is essential to taste, in my opinion. I add a small, thin slice of butter to the bottom of each Ebelskiver hole once it's hot (heat over low or medium low heat). Once the butter melts, add batter to each hole to just slightly below the hole's rim (beware, center hole heats quickest, so add butter to that hole last and add batter to that hole first). Now add fruit or jelly to center until batter rises to rim or just above the rim.

Once brown on bottom, use a small silicone heat resistant spatula to flip the Ebelskivers...

Perfect pan for Glass top Stove
I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to find an Aebleskiver pan that worked on a glass top range, but then I was able to find this Nordic Ware Flat aluminum pan at a specialty hardware store. My first attempt at making the tasty Danish treats was a huge success. Aluminum conducts heat very well, so I was able use low heat only 3 out of 10 on the dial, and it made perfectly round Aebleskivers in a quick amount of time. The non stick surface needs very little oil or butter, and was super easy to clean using warm water and a mild soap. I would recommend this pan for any one who has a flat glass top radiant heat range.

You should definitely try these
There are many variations on the pancake theme (waffles, crepes, etc.), but ebelskivers are my favorite. Light, yet surprisingly substantial, they can stand alone, but are also the perfect vehicle for your favorite jam, jelly, or syrup. Growing up, I remember ebelskivers being cooked in a well seasoned, cast-iron pan. However, this cast-aluminum pan works very well, and is probably more practical. It is also non-stick, and fairly easy to use. Ebelskivers themselves take a little practice, whether getting the temperature just right or flipping them at the right time, but are well worth the effort, and friends will enjoy your practice attempts as well.
