Notes

  • Pan Substitute: If you don't have an aebleskiver pan, you can use a regular skillet or a round pancake mold, but the shape may not be as perfect.
  • Toppings: Feel free to experiment with toppings like powdered sugar, fruit compote, or even savory fillings such as cheese or bacon.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.aebleskiver recipe with sour cream
