Author's Comments

The flavorful dough may be fried with a piece of apple stuck in the center or served with applesauce or apple butter. An 8 inch diameter cast iron pan with seven round indentations fits over a stove burner and fries the cakes to golden perfection. This pan is called an aebleskiver pan.
