Have you heard of Ebelskivers? I had not, until just the other day.
I have wanted our family to have a Christmas morning breakfast tradition, but could never figure out what that should be.
When my sister-in-law gave me a Williams-Sonoma gift card for my birthday, I immediately went to their website to try to figure out what I wanted (most). I discovered something I had never even heard of before: an ebelskiver pan! {I, of course, went that day to the store to buy it since I’m such a patient person}
Apparently, ebelskivers {also spelled aebleskivers} originated in Denmark and traditionally were served before Christmas. They are small round-shaped pancakes that are light and fluffy. Oftentimes, they are filled with fruit, cream cheese, or other delicious fillings.
My first attempt at ebelskivers went fairly smoothly. I filled them with apricot preserves and sprinkled a little bit of powder sugar on top. Maple syrup completed them and they were delicious. I am in love!
I am now in search of the type of ebelskiver that I want to make on Christmas morning. I’ll post more flavors as I try them out this week!
{Sidenote: The ebelskivers pictured above are not anything especially healthy, but I am going to try out various types, including some made with whole wheat flour! I consider these more of a fun thing to do for special occasions…not an everyday breakfast.}
