5.0 out of 5 starsNew fan of this tasty Danish treat
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2020
Kevin Crafts is good at taking a novice like me through the steps to successfully cook up these wonderful Danish indulgences. They are vaguely like fluffy little pancakes, but much tastier and, unlike pancakes, they actually taste good the next day. My first batch used about a half teaspoon of lemon curd as filling (he includes this as one variation), and they were delicious. I was apprehensive about getting started, but discovered it's quite easy to make ebelskivers. Armed with a new "Norpro Nonstick Stuffed Pancake Pan" and some wooden skewer sticks, I had no problem, though a few of them might not have looked picture perfect. Again, these are more than "stuffed pancakes." They are somehow fluffier but with more body and texture than ordinary pancakes. Using a good nonstick pan is essential. You can get cast-iron ebelskiver pans, but in my experience cast iron requires a lot more maintenance, especially the "seasoning" part. I'm looking forward to trying all sorts of new flavors, even with cheese and bacon. Possibilities are endless, as the variety of recipes in this book show. These also make the perfect breakfast food for families who no longer sit down together for the most important meal of the day.
