- How to make Aebleskiver (Danish Christmas donuts) and our family traditions!
Recipe courtesy of my Dearly-Departed-Danish-Father-in-Law, who was born in 1914 (not 1918 as I said...)
For 30 æbleskiver (Danish Christmas donuts) you will need:
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
a quarter litre/250mls/1 cup of kærnemælk (buttermilk)
200 mls/just under 1 cup of milk or cream (I'd go with cream, DH used milk - boo!)
250g or 2 cups of plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½-1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Mix the first five ingredients (eggs, sugar, salt, buttermilk, milk or cream) in a large bowl until it's fairly frothy. Easiest with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder and ground cardamom. Make sure it's well mixed, then leave to rest for about 15 minutes.
Heat up your donut pan, put a tiny bit of oil or butter in each of the holes and fill each hole about two-thirds of the way up (they will swell up). When there are lots of bubbles on the surface of each donut, flip over. In DH's family the tradition is to use knitting needles... But a skewer will do! :-)
When the little donut balls are browned on both sides remove from the pan.
Serve warm with icing sugar (or granulated sugar) and jam.
To eat them the Danish way:
put a spoonful of (icing or granulated) sugar and jam on to your plate
put two or three donuts on to your plate
dip the donuts into the sugar and jam on your plate
Repeat until you are full... Hope you enjoy them!
The donuts can be frozen.

I’m in Nebraska, my heritage is Danish and Swedish, and my Swedish grandma would make these, I have an ableskiver cast iron pan too that was handed down to me, and I make these 👍❤️. My grandma was born in Sweden in 1900, came to USA in 1914. I was born on her birthday and named after her, and I have red curly hair like she did 😻. She was a great cook, and I loved to listen to her stories of Sweden and how she grew up. Trolls were often a feature in her stories.
Another awesome recipe to try. This is going to be one interesting Christmas for us here. I will be making the savoury short bread tomorrow. Can't wait to try them. Your videos have been so educational. I'm learning so much about Denmark. Love it. Thanks Diane.
Merry Christmas to you and the family. Also please tell Vibeke Merry Christmas! Those look so good! Safe travels for you all. Love your insights, motivation, and traditions!
I was so excited when I saw the title of this video. I have one of those pans that a friend sent me from America. I didn't know you could freeze them. I must get some buttermilk for the weekend and make some. Even my very amateur attempts have produced delicious things. The trouble is, we can't stop eating them once we start. Thank you so much for this video. It's been very helpful for me.
I smiled when you spoke about the knitting needles. I have always used a knitting needle as a skewer when testing cakes to see if they are done. It lives in my cutlery drawer and is always at hand. 🎅🏻😊
Hi Diane! My great grandparents were from around the Danish/German border and brought this wonderful tradition with them. The smell of the aebelskiver cooking on Christmas Eve sends me back to my childhood and the wonder of Christmas!!! Many Blessings to You!!!
Hi Diane...and Merry Christmas to you and yours! I live in Southern California...my DH and I drive up to a Danish town by Santa Barbara called Solvang just to get these little treats! They have them both ways...with or without apples...AND...covered in “powdered” sugar (which is what I call icing sugar 😃) ! I just love your videos, your energy, your encouragement, and especially your accent! 💖
My grandmother came from Denmark and handed down this recipe. They take time to make, but they are so worth it. Delicious!
I make these for my children and usually fill them with a caramel apple jam or raspberry jam. I will definitely try your recipe and have them dip into jam, much easier and still delicious. Thank you Diane for always bringing Hygge and happiness to my holidays. 🌲✨❤️
Diane! You're adorable. What a different setting...Denmark! Gonna watch some more of your vids, now.
Thank you for the video, Diane! You’re helping me get in touch with my Scandinavian roots.
I made these for the first time a couple of months ago and absolutely fell in love them. So Yummy! I'm planning on making some more for this holday. Merry Yule everyone!
Hi Diane! Thank you for that recipe! In Northern Germany we have the same kind of doughnuts, they are called Förtchen. People often add raisins to the dough. I love your concept of celebrating little Christmas Eve on the 23rd. That's the day we usually put up and decorate the Christmas tree, and I'm sure some of these little treats would be perfect after that...
Great that your Danish father-in-law passed down traditions so you can carry them on with family and share with your followers. I have been getting your recipes and ingredients so I have everything for baking day. Thank you!
Hope they turned out well for you, Elizabeth!
My grandson (7) stayed home sick from school today in my care, and I asked him if he wanted me to make Aebleskiver. Yes, he wanted me to, so I had him help me prepare the batter. Had him crush cardamom seeds with a mortar and pestle. He was tired afterwards and fell asleep on the loveseat so I did the frying by myself. I added finely chopped apple, mixed with some cinnamon to each, and they turned out great. I love your recipe; added it to my Christmas booklet with things to do and make, but will have to keep a copy handy in the kitchen too as I'm sure I will be making these more often. It is so much easier than the recipes where you have to whip the egg whites separately. Thanks for sharing!
I remembered I had two counter cookery with the special pan inserts. They wired beautifully. And, they were delicious. A new tradition has been started with my family.
Thank you to you and your father in law may he rest well. I inherited a pan like this and I held on to it because it's cast iron and was interesting.. now I know what it's for Thank You- What a wonderful gift you have given to me and my family!
I absolutely love yout kitchen
I think, I became an Æbleskiver expert.
Make them every weekend for myself.
Perfectly rounded, light brown and no mess.
I am not nordic at all.
Diane, this video means so much to me! My grandmother’s ableskever pan had been bequeathed to me for many years. My dad just passed on March 31, 2022 and the pan is almost to me! My bestie picked it up and I’ll have it in a couple months.
Said bestie is a great cook and baker, so I was looking up videos for her to learn while she has the pan in her possession. I LOVE that I came across yours! I follow you from FlyLady and you’re so adorable and I love your voice and demeanor and the traditions you share. May God Bless You.
Oh, now I want to bring ableskever to Christmas Eve!!
Oooo, that is fantastic, Cathy! Enjoy making æbleskiver!
I can smell that good taste of fresh baked sugar, cardamom and flour.
My first thought by thinking how I would use these Aebleskiver Pan when I would buy it, was : make it like "Apfelringe". one or some little peace of apple in it. Thanks for showing us!
Hi from Utah!! We make these every Christmas morning!! And I also use knitting needles because that is how Grandma and Great-Grandma did it!! Your recipe looks a lot easier than mine. I am going to try your DDFIL's recipe next time! Love all your videos. Xx
That's so funny about the knitting needles! Thanks, Melanie!
Your respect and love for your Dearly Departed Danish Dad-in-Law makes my heart feel. X :D (It brings back so many of my memories also) L
Marvelous traditions! Now I want to make this as well. Off to check where I can find these specialist pans.
I made them yesterday. Turned out really well. I do use a different recipe and add shredded apple with cinnamon. I like them better that way. Cold they are delicious too.
I picked one..the one is missing🙂Tastes delicious. Yum! Thanks 👍🙂💝
What a privilege to have known such a talented man who just happened to be a family member Diane!
Was there anything your DDFIL couldn't do? :)
These are great donuts compared to deep fried ones we commonly find in our parts! Love how they puff up in that divine little pan :) Well.... Le Creuset would work best :) thanks to the capability of evenly distributing heat through the pan... Pricey but worth it!
Your glazier has perfect timing! Good omen!! Hope he enjoyed on of those yummy donuts! Helen :)
While thrift store shopping in an Amish community I purchased an aebelskiver pan. I knew what it was at first sight and that fast, it was in my hand! Now I'm researching recipes to use it. Your DDFIL's recipe seems so much easier and authentic than most I've found. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can't wait to try it!
Let me know how you like them - this is a true family favourite recipe, enjoyed by many generations of my Danish in-laws! 👋😍🇩🇰
@@DianeinDenmark I have a jar of Amish Christmas Jam (strawberry and cranberry) to try with them. Doesn't that sound so yummy?
I will try your recipe soon. It is easier than another one I tried, as that one called for beaten egg whites to be folded in. It also did not call for cardamom, and I have some pods, so will grind some of the seeds and add it.
by the power of Grayskull, I love that ! :)
Hi, Diane, thank you for showing this so detailed, maybe I'll use my very old fashioned iron æbleskiver pan this year! One of my first questions to our Danish friends was: WHY are no æbler in æbleskiver?? :-))) They had never thought about it...I always bought them, because to flip them was a bit tricky...now I know this needle trick!! And what I really have are KNITTING NEEDLES, because knitting is my favourite hobby. I'll give it a try... love the smell of cardamom! If you find the spelling of Danish tricky, try Finish, haha! Until today I've difficulties to read my cookIng books from Finland, although I can TALK quite fluently...KARDEMUMMAKAKKU...can you guess what that means;-)? Love it! By the way: the dough has to rest, because the flour has to combine nicely with the milk, but you're right: nowadays, using baking powder, there is not really needed a rest...By the way( again;-)) : BAGEPULVER was the first thing I tried to say in Danish in a supermarket in 1979, but nobody understood me, although I was reading nicely , what I found in the dictionary...finally in 1985 I decided to learn Danish. I already knew a lot of words, was easily understood in Norway, but not in Denmark...now I know the key: dansk sproget er som en sommerfugl... Thank you for reminding me to so many Danish customs and recipes and...for this little chitchat. I really enjoyed the year with you and loved to read all the comments, too. I'll think of you on 23 rd of December, Lille Juleaften, in the Netherlands. Love, Monika
Gosh, that is impressive, Monika - Finnish looks completely incomprehensible to me!
1914 is when my Dearly-Departed-Grandmother :) was born. And..guess what? My DM (Dear Mother), her daughter, just happened to buy me that same unique pan several Christmases ago. She didn't know what it was, but she included a cookbook with a recipe for the Ebleskivers! She had found it at a thrift shop of some sort, and thought it looked interesting. I wasn't sure if I was cooking the donuts correctly; now I know! What a blessing to see this.
Hope you enjoy making them, Julie!
So where might we find a pan like that?? They look absolutely amazing!! I just love all these extra videos, thank you so much. I wish I could pop through the internet to try one!!!! Xx
Hi Lucie - you can find them on amazon!
Diane in Denmark ok great, I’m on it!!!
I love those. I'm half Portuguese and my grandmother made these Portuguese donuts that taste just like Aebleskiver. I forgot what they're called. We always just called them Portuguese donuts! :) It was always something we looked forward to.
Malasadas or Sonhous, perhaps. We make them on Pancake Tuesday.
I make æbelskiver here at the Scandinavian Festival. We make 36 at once in a huge æbelskiver cooker! I also have a small pan like yours here at home.
Wow, 36 at once - that's amazing, Suzi!!!
I knew that I would end up doing this. Although I have nothing to do with Scandinavia, I have just ordered an Aebleskiver pan from Amazon, a covered one. It would be easier for me if the pan had a slightly domed cover to retain some heat and set the top of the donuts before flipping them. Let's see what happens. Thank you Diane!
My grandmother had two æbleskiver pans... The smaller one could only make 17, and the larger one had holes for 21. THAT was some serious cooking! But then, she'd often make them for 40 people - friends, family and so on gathering at the farm house - so I think a normal 7-hole pan is probably better for most of us who don't have to make hundreds and hundreds of æbleskiver! (Her pans would be greased after each use, wrapped in cloth and then hung from the ceiling in the cellar. They are still in brilliant condition to this day, though now the farm is in my uncle and aunt's hands.)
It means I have to divide her recipe by quite a lot to make something suitable for a smaller gathering...
Also, my grandmother's recipe used fresh yeast - which is, I believe more traditional than baking powder, but also perhaps at times more tricky. I've had hits and misses with it, for sure! (My grandmother never had misses with it for some reason. But grandmothers are like that, aren't they?)
Great memories, Søren!
Can you provide a link of where you bought the flat bottom pan for glass cook top?
Thank you so much for this, I’m a dane living in Australia and love watching things that remind me of home. I inherited my mother’s aebleskive pan and have never used it so this video has inspired me to get it out and try to make some. But my question is how do you look after the pan, what should I do before I use it?
Hello! If the pan hasn't been used for a while, simply give it a good wash and dry thoroughly. Heat it up well before you add in any butter etc for cooking the æbleskiver.
Good evening Diane! Hope you are all well and good and enjoying the Christmas build up! I made aebleskiver tonight in a CAKE POP MAKER! They come out about the size of golf balls (about a tablespoon in each well) and I got 36 of them.... I used around half your mix (but a different recipe) and all buttermilk (no milk) and no cardamom, will add that next time. Needless to say they are all gone! 🙈 When you freeze, I assume that is once cooled, but when you take out, how long before you need them and do you do anything to them before you eat them? Do they need warming? I'm definitely making them again. I've sent my sister the challenge of finding a pan for me which I shall collect when (I hope) I come over next year. Not sure if I told you that she is pregnant, so I hope Covid will allow me to see my new niece or nephew next year either summer or Christmas ❤. Thanks for sharing these, just brilliant! LLAP xxx
I bought a pan from Amazon last year and made them successfully. They were delicious but we ate them all the morning I made them. How long in advance can you make them and do you refrigerate them? It was so nice beginning a new tradition. Thank you. (Tak)
We usually freeze them in batches. But they keep well for a day or two.
Very good ...u r awsmmm
Thank you for this lovely video. I wondered so many times what my ancestors enjoyed their aebelskivers with. I also wonder about the recipe that’s been handed down to me which includes whipping egg whites until they peak. Has that been Americanized, I wonder? Anyways- many thanks! Also, after you freeze them, how do you rewarm for that perfect texture?!?!
Hi Kassy! We let them defrost and warm briefly in microwave, or the oven (covered with foil so they don't dry out) 👋😃
How do they add apple to them?
👍❤️👍
Thanks for the recipe. I am going to try it. How do you re-heat the doughnuts after freezing?
Microwave or oven (after thawing)
“You have your plate of icing sugar and a little kid runs past you and it definitely looks like Christmas “😂😂😂
I like your hair style, it suits you.
Great video Diane! Where may we buy this kind of pan? ☺️
Amazon have them! 😍
Is cream the same as heavy whipping cream in the United States? Or like hald and half in the United States?
You can use milk or cream (the stuff that pours easily) 😃
Hi, can you please share which pan are you using ? Thanks
It's a Le Creuset one, I think - for induction stoves.
Have pictures (like on the wall) been invented in Denmark yet? ;-)
Hej Diane mange tak
Actually ... æbleskiver (apple slices) is more of a pancake batter or crepe batter, than it is a donut batter.
Traditional recipe calls for a slice of apple to be added to each æbleskive, once theyre poured into the pan.
That is what gives them their name.
They are rarely home made today. Instead people in Denmark, buys premade bags with æbleskiver, and heats them in the oven. Theyre usually made without the slice of apple.
Your æbleskiver, especially those from the marked pan, looks delicious.
I’m so sad...I can’t find the pan anywhere. I really wanted to make them this year.
Amazon has them, if you haven’t found a pan yet.
An tip from an dane . Something your father inlaw missed is . If you flip all around its get bit hollow inside. The better way is flip half way fill it up with extra dow and then flip around all way. Then it will be full inside as s sopose to. Try just once and you see an huge diffence. If your father in law knew that I'm sure he would agree this way is better. I do agree thow we don't stuff aple in here in Denmark. If does then its not traditionel æbleskiver as you say. But its not to compare with donuts . So please don't call them christmas donuts . Nothing can be completed to æbleskiver so very whrong to translate it to that .
Greatinngs Anette from Denmark
My father-in-law made his the same way as you do.
I have seen aebleskiver pans now I know what to use them for
Bonjour je peux avoir la recette s'il vous plait
Bonjour, Jeannine! La recette était dans l'info du vidéo... La voilà! === Recipe courtesy of my Dearly-Departed-Danish-Father-in-Law, who was born in 1914 (not 1918 as I said...)
For 30 æbleskiver (Danish Christmas donuts) you will need:
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
a quarter litre/250mls/1 cup of kærnemælk (buttermilk)
200 mls/just under 1 cup of milk or cream (I'd go with cream, DH used milk - boo!)
250g or 2 cups of plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½-1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Mix the first five ingredients (eggs, sugar, salt, buttermilk, milk or cream) in a large bowl until it's fairly frothy. Easiest with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder and ground cardamom. Make sure it's well mixed, then leave to rest for about 15 minutes.
Heat up your donut pan, put a tiny bit of oil or butter in each of the holes and fill each hole about two-thirds of the way up (they will swell up). When there are lots of bubbles on the surface of each donut, flip over. In DH's family the tradition is to use knitting needles... But a skewer will do! :-)
When the little donut balls are browned on both sides remove from the pan.
Serve warm with icing sugar (or granulated sugar) and jam.
To eat them the Danish way:
put a spoonful of (icing or granulated) sugar and jam on to your plate
put two or three donuts on to your plate
dip the donuts into the sugar and jam on your plate
Repeat until you are full... Hope you enjoy them!
The donuts can be frozen.
@@DianeinDenmark bonjour merci bonne journée
Irish or Scottish?

Como habla
Why don't you fill them?
In Denmark they are never filled these days (it's a very old tradition which died out). We dip them in sugar and jam.
@@DianeinDenmark Ok
If you fill them, they are harder to flip over and very difficult to get round.
This is a perfect recipe to be on Khal,com. You should add it there. I am sure a lot of people will love your recipes there...
