Aebleskiver, also known as abelskiver, is a traditional Danish pastry that has gained popularity worldwide. These little pancake balls are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are usually served with powdered sugar or jam and eaten for breakfast or brunch. The word 'aebleskiver' means 'apple slices' in Danish, but there are no apples in the recipe. Through the years, aebleskiver has become a popular food for Danish holidays and celebrations. Making these pancakes requires a special aebleskiver pan with deep wells.

6.	Using a skewer or chopstick, flip the pancake balls when the edges begin to set and cook the other side until fully cooked.
7.	Remove the aebleskiver from the pan and serve with powdered sugar or jam.
