It's true! This morning ... I turned my first first aebleskiver. I did it in the kitchen and my wife didn't mind at all. As a matter of fact, it's the first time I've ever eaten one of my turnings.

Sure, you could google aebleskiver and find out what it is. But, let's have a little fun .... try guessing what it is before you google.

PS Ask a Dane!!

If you truely turned instead of flipped, I picture one of those hand cranked gizmos turning out curly potatos of apples. If it was flipped I'd guess some sort of apple pancake or sausage. Then again a name for some sort of mixer or wisk...Best I can come up with..Off to Google it....I'll keep it to myself...

I know, I know, I know!!!!! :smile-big::smile-big::eat::bananen_smilies047::bananen_smilies046:

But I won't tell, lets see what kind of guesses you get! :wink:

We have a huge Scandinavia Festival here in town every year. The hottest item there is the aebleskiver. In fact I have a nice cast iron bed to turn them on, in my kitchen!

Congratulations on turning your first aebleskiver. There are a lot of people who think it is nothing special, but the first one always is special. Now just for fun, keep increasing the size!! I know, but I won't tell. I also want to see what kind of guesses are give out. :biggrin:

You fellows should try the Japanese version with ika and tako (not Mexican taco either). Osaka is famous for it - takoyaki.

And leave it to the Japanese to "adapt" things for their liking. When I saw the "moulds" for those, it looked just like the Japanese moulds for their takoyaki.

Whatever the heck it is it has certainly made me think that I am definitely hungry.

So I guess it is some kind of Scandinavian thingies that parents can eat in an effort to get the little one's to try something different. Kinda like chocolate covered bugs maybe! :eek:

Now I don' think I am hungry like I said earlier! :rolleyes:

Nope, I'm not a Dane ....... my mother's parents were Russian immigrants and my dad's parents were from Italy. At one point, when I was a kid, I was almost tri-lingual. Wish I hadn't lost it. Oh well.

As for the aebleskiver .... check out this website and watch the video.

The chef in the video does the "turning".
