Dansk Aebleskiver (Danish Doughnuts)

Loved the Aebleskiver recipe. Very easy to follow. I love cardamom so I would add more next time. Very important to add shortening or neutral before each doughnut. Makes them easier to turn! Another cook had them deflate, probably didn't cook long enough. Used just below medium heat on gas burner.

TLDR: I added cinnamon and brown sugar coated diced apples. I liked that this recipe didn't require separating the eggs. I wish I could speak to the authenticity of this recipe, but today was both the first time I've made an æbleskiver and the first time I've eaten one. They were like a mix of pancake and doughnut and pretty yummy! I thought the recipe was too many servings, so I halved it. it turned out fine but I later wished I'd made the full batch as it took two rounds just to get it to come out right. First round I didn't put enough butter, it really needs to be about a table spoon of melted butter. 2nd round I just had the pan a bit too hot, left them a bit too long. I set the timer for 1 min after I filled the last little mold, then flip from the first mold I filled, that worked. For the batter I added equal parts cinnamon to cardamom, as another reviewer said, it was yummy. I increased sugar in the dough as well, but that didn't seem necessary. I put apples in the batter filled molds right before flipping. I coated the apples in brown sugar which made them super yummy. I used kabob squewers to flip. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with maple syrup and blackberry preserves. Honestly they were good alone, but I preferred the preserves. Now I want to go to Denmark and try some real ones to see how these stack up! It was a bit time consuming but now that I've got a method I don't think next time will be so hard and there *will* be a next time! Velbekomme!

Great recipe. I cooked them just under med. heat filling the pan half way, adding some home made lemon curd and then coming it the rest of the way. Next time I will add orange zest!
