Product Description

Scandinavians love the spherical little pancakes known as ebleskiver. Countless "traditional" recipes for them exist, but any old pancake recipe will do, including prepackaged pancake mix and concoctions beginning with cake mixes. Shape defines ebleskiver, not ingredients, and only an ebleskiver pan delivers. Safe on gas or electric stovetops, this one is made from heavy cast aluminum so it won't warp. And it's nonstick, to make flipping the pancakes easy and cleanup a snap. (For authenticity, turn ebleskiver with a knitting needle.) Its wood handle stays cool and adds a rustic touch. There's a notch on the handle's end for hanging on a hook or peg. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars We use it EVERY weekend! Easy, Tasty, Fun! May 21, 2007

We have used this pan every weekend for a year. Don't bother making mix from scratch - Hungry Jack's "just add water" pancake mix makes wonderfully light and fluffy Ebelskivers. We add blueberries and raspberries to our Ebelskivers (fresh in season, frozen but thawed in warm water the rest of the year).

Yes, it is nonstick but I find a little butter is necessary to keep the Ebelskivers from sticking if they have fruit in them, plus the butter is essential to taste, in my opinion. I add a small, thin slice of butter to the bottom of each Ebelskiver hole once it's hot (heat over low or medium low heat). Once the butter melts, add batter to each hole to just slightly below the hole's rim (beware, center hole heats quickest, so add butter to that hole last and add batter to that hole first). Now add fruit or jelly to center until batter rises to rim or just above the rim.

Once brown on bottom, use a small silicone heat resistant spatula to flip the Ebelskivers over. While the flip takes a little practice, it is easy to catch on to. Trust me, guests and family will be impressed with these unusual breakfast treats AND will be amazed at the taste! We top our Ebelskivers with real maple or blueberry syrup and a small dollop of whipped cream ("Reddy Wip" make not be haute cuisine, but it sure tastes good!).

NOTE ABOUT CAST IRON: We also own a cast iron Ebelskiver pan, which we hate. No matter how many times I've tried to season and oil the pan, the Ebelskivers stick - which ruins the Ebelskivers. Plus, I have a bad neck which is irritated by trying to use caste iron, which is very heavy and difficult to use for making Ebelskivers. Just be sure to wash the nonstick pan by hand and don't use forks or other metal utensils to turn the Ebelskivers.

RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pan for Glass top Stove September 10, 2007

By C. Slocum

I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to find an Aebleskiver pan that worked on a glass top range, but then I was able to find this Nordic Ware Flat aluminum pan at a specialty hardware store. My first attempt at making the tasty Danish treats was a huge success. Aluminum conducts heat very well, so I was able use low heat only 3 out of 10 on the dial, and it made perfectly round Aebleskivers in a quick amount of time. The non stick surface needs very little oil or butter, and was super easy to clean using warm water and a mild soap. I would recommend this pan for any one who has a flat glass top radiant heat range.

4.0 out of 5 stars You should definitely try these March 5, 2001

By A Customer

There are many variations on the pancake theme (waffles, crepes, etc.), but ebelskivers are my favorite. Light, yet surprisingly substantial, they can stand alone, but are also the perfect vehicle for your favorite jam, jelly, or syrup. Growing up, I remember ebelskivers being cooked in a well seasoned, cast-iron pan. However, this cast-aluminum pan works very well, and is probably more practical. It is also non-stick, and fairly easy to use. Ebelskivers themselves take a little practice, whether getting the temperature just right or flipping them at the right time, but are well worth the effort, and friends will enjoy your practice attempts as well.
