A new cast iron toy.

[dakotamouse]

Came across this in Collections Etc.




Its called an Aebleskiver pan. I think I'm going to have to fire up my grill and get it seasoned. I can't wait for camping season and I've learned my lesson about seasoning in the house not being compatable with smoke detectors!

It's a cheaper grade of cast iron but for a amateur like me...it'll do!

That will make some interesting breakfast or deserts at camp. I looked up the Lodge and it is $34+. I really hate using credit cards on the internet but might make an exception............

Don't forget to share.

My wife just pulled out an old recipe for them. She's been holding out on me. pronunciation Danny

Go to the Danish Village at Solvang CA and you will find Aebleskiver for sell on every block. Great replacement for donuts.

I was fortunate to be at the Three Rivers DOG last spring to see them made and taste these delights.

Here are some pictures from that event that might be of interest to Iron enthusiasts.

Dutchin Dave showed us how the Aebleskivers were made.

They can be stuffed with cream cheese and preserves for a breakfast treat or made with a savory filling as well.


Dutchin Dave Aebleskiver Giving the talk ............ Dutchin Dave Aebleskiver Putting the first half of the batter in the Iron


Dutchin Dave, after stuffing them he watches on ... And Turning the treats with chopsticks to brown the other side


Look at these results ~ ummm good tasting ... Dave makes another batch for the hungry group of DOG attendees

Hey Steve thanks for the pictures. Did Dave make the collar himself? How did he stuff them. You gotta tell now.

I bet they would make great hush puppies.

[sdtripper2]

Yes M ~

Dave made that collar from some pipe and drilled the holes.
He seems to like the heat transfer as the taste treats came out fast and light.
Think of a donut hole but seemingly lighter in texture.

Stuffing: You asked how to fold in and cook ~
He filled the curved parts of the Iron with !/2 the batter or just a little less.
Let the heat start to brown the bottom ~ until his intuitive cook~ness
kicked in and then he put a half a spoon of cream cheese and some fruit
preserve on that half. He then put some more batter over the top of that mixture.

Then the turning began ~ the chopsticks would go into the side of the Iron
and push the now cooked bottom half 1/4 turn so as to start cooking the
side that was now pushed down onto the hot iron. He keeps pushing and or
turning till the top part is now on the bottom with the bottom browned is uP
on top. This is where mastery of the chopsticks comes in on a whole new Danish level.
( Not to knock the Asian use for chopsticks) Then it is a matter of intuitive chopstick
and smell; cook~dom~mastery. Till the little stuffed puffs are done and
brown all over and ready for waiting gullets.

These little critter treats are dang good too ~
Kid please-rs yes ~ but us older ones were no slouches when it came to
fists of fury when grabbing at the serving plate.

Oh and some sprinkled sugar on top ... added to the sights, sounds and
smells as the folks attacked with glee. And Smiles all around.

yuP Rich ~

I think you are right ~ but then everything goes better at IRG. Now don't ya know?

[halfdome, Danny]

Makes me think of a light pastry that's batter coated on a decorative iron, deep fried & sprinkled with powdered sugar. There delicious. Does anyone know what they are called? Danny

[rbeemer]

Williams - Sonoma sells a non stick version of the pan and it works great, try stuffing with some thick strawberry jam or add the filling for cinnamon rolls.
they are yummy and easy to do
