📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Æbleskiver means 'apple slices,' from the days when they were made with apple inside. Today they're usually made without apple, cooked into spheres in a special pan with hollows, and eaten with powdered sugar and jam. During Advent in December, they're enjoyed with family and friends alongside the mulled wine gløgg.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a December weekend, a Danish family gathers by the fireplace, dusting fresh round pancakes with powdered sugar and dipping them in jam.
