A TRIUMPH FOR DANISH BAKING AÆBLESKIVER. Michael Caines in the TLS (October 26, 2018) reviews the new season (number 9) of The Great British Bake-off. He says: “This season, the ninth, has contestants—now far less amateurish than they used to be, when the Bake-off started eight years ago—facing technical challenges such as producing, in one hour, a perfect group of fourteen aæbleskiver (Danish spheres of batter, to be turned as they cook and injected with a filling at the crucial second). Nobody came out of that one unsinged by embarrassment.” Caines points out that the technical challenge in the first year was to make a sponge cake.
My mother used to make aæbleskiver but without a stop watch. She used what she called a monk’s pan. This wikipedia entry says that the name literally means apple slices in Danish.
