Æbleskiver
A Danish version of a yeasted pancake, cooked like a Japanese takoyaki. The æbleskiver is enjoyed at various holidays, served only with powdered sugar or different condiments that can change by the season. If you don’t have an æbleskiver or a takoyaki pan, feel free to use a regular cast iron pan to cook it like a pancake!
