Aebleskivers-The Pancake Challenge!

As everyone knows I have been super busy for the past few weeks…Hence I couldn’t post this recipe earlier:(. And the worst part is, I also wanted to make raggmunks, but couldn’t find any time:(. SO anyways I am taking this to the Pancake Challenge, over at Natascha’s Palace.

SO coming over to the aebleskivers!These were one of the best pancakes I have ever had. In India, we make these delicacies called panniyarams, and their moulds exactly resemble the aebleskiver mould. Unfortunately I had the bigger ones, so I couldn’t get an exact spherical shape. in the pics the side look charred, idk why! Probably because of the effect.

Traditional aebleskivers have apple stuffing in them, so I followed it. These days we get aebleskivers with chocolate filling and other stuff. The word apparently means apple slices in Danish. You can make these with wheatflour or maida. I used maida, but next time I’m gonna try it with wheat:)

Serve this by sprinkling powdered sugar over it. You can eat this with jam or chocolate sauce.
