In this Movie Monday I demonstrate for you how to make a traditional Scandinavian treat–Aebleskivers. Aebleskivers are basically a round pancake that you can eat for breakfast with butter, sugar, jam, syrup…whatever you put on pancakes. Apple slices are also put in them for filling–hence, Aebleskiver.
I am no professional at making these as you will see in the Movie, but it is kind of fun to see the cooking mishaps and adventures of someone else. I hope I bring a little smile to you today.
Movie Monday–Aebleskivers! from Ingrid Barlow on Vimeo.
(The music in the video is in honor of my grandpa, Al Reesnes. He is an incredible piano player and as a little girl I would dance with my cousins all over the living room to very similar music. His fingers make the keys come alive and I love it!)
If you are further interested in Aebleskivers and want a more professional video demo of them, check out www.auntelse.com.
Here is a link to the store that we bought our pan from. Holsen Hus.
Here is the very initial attempt at Aebleskivers in a muffin pan. (There is a reason we bought the real Aebleskiver pan.)
But they still tasted great! Check out my favorite butter dish. Smor=butter in Norwegian.
LOVE seeing the mishaps! Makes life seem more real. I always say if it weren’t for all the wrong paths and mishaps in life we wouldn’t have much to chuckle about as we get older!
Ingrid!! What a great video! I loved seeing your first experimentation with the Aebleskiver pan. You did a great job and looks like you have perfected them! Thanks for mentioning Holsen Hus and providing a link. I appreciate that you like to support local businesses. We remain in business because of great customers like you!
Loved your video—-and love the plug for Holsen Hus!! Great job, Ingrid. They look fabulous and I bet they were delicious!
The first batch, that you made in the new pan, looked identical to the first batch that we made when we first started making aebleskivers. My guess is most people’s first attempt are crispy and very brown just like ours!!! Not too hot and not too full seems to be the trick. Do you agree? It was fun to see you in your domestic role.
love the implied communication with the Camera man! cute! I am not much of a cooker/baker, but you always make me want to try new things. I made your tortillas from scratch a while ago, and man, the were awesome!
Love Movie Mondays…though sometimes I miss a couple weeks and make up all at once. Great, great video. They’re all great…but I think it’s important for folks to know that experimentation and oopsies are part and parcel of life…and it’s no different for those of us at home. Keep up the good work! Great camera and editing action, too. 🙂
