The Camp Chef Cast Iron Aebleskiver Pan may sound
like a complicated name but it actually has a very interesting meaning. The
dictionary definition of this item is: "Æbleskiver (Danish meaning apple
slices in English (singular: æbleskive) are traditional Danish cakes, somewhat
similar in texture to American pancakes. Æbleskiver are cooked in a special
æbleskive pan, a cast-iron pan with several hemi-spherical indentations in the
bottom of the pan. Batter is poured into the indentations and as it begins to
cook it is flipped with a skewer to give the cakes their characteristic round
shape." They were traditionally cooked with bits of apple (æble) or applesauce
inside but these ingredients are not normally included in modern Danish forms
of the dish. Æbleskiver are not sweet themselves but are traditionally
sprinkled with powdered sugar, accompanied with raspberry or sometimes
strawberry jam.
This Aebleskiver Pan can also be used to make
"pancake balls" using regular pancake batter. Be creative and have fun finding
different uses for this pan!
