This is a recipe that my family has been using pretty much since I can remember! Going to grandmas house as a kid on Christmas was always a joy because we knew something special happened in the mornings (besides Santa’s visit)! These little pancake balls are absolutely WONDERFUL! I thought I was bringing a neat new recipe to the table when I met my husband but soon discovered a neat tradition of my husbands. The first Christmas I had with my husband, we celebrated with his huge extended family, I bet you couldn’t guess what the star of the meal was?…Yep, these delicious little balls of joy! I fell even more in love with his family on that day, even though I didn’t think it was possible!
I lost all the pictures on my camera from when I made this, so I had to use these pictures from Google Images. I’ll be updating this recipe soon with my own pictures!In order to make these delicious pancakes you need a pan that looks like this:

I'm so glad to have found your site! I am a terrible cook, but when I saw this recipe, I KNEW I had to give it a try. My husband loves these and they are a favorite childhood memory of his. I can't wait to tackle them! Can't wait to try more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing!Catherine
It's so nice to see that you made my favorite childhood desert! I'm from Danmark and grew up in a Danish family, eating more æbleskiver than could possibly be healthy. The way it was always prepared for me was to dip it in strawberry jam, and then powdered sugar. To eat it plain might as well be a sin. :) Nathalie Miehe-Renard
Yum! Made these for our Saturday morning breakfast. I’ve had a pan for this for a whole but was never brave enough to try it but this recipe was a great one to start with. Easy and delicious! Thanks!
