A cooking utensil designed specifically for making the Danish pancake ball known as an aebleskiver, ebleskiver or apple dumpling. This pancake has a round ball-like shape rather than a flattened rounded shape, like a crepe or a U.S. pancake. The aebleskiver is made with a batter that is often mixed with fruit or other fillings and poured into this pan with individual round indentations that are molded to form the ball shape. One half of the pancake bakes and when the bottom half has turned golden brown it is rolled over manually to bake the other side. Aebleskivers are most often served for breakfast or brunch, but they can also be filled with a savory filling and be served as an appetizer or main dish. The pan for aebleskivers is also referred to as a Munk pan or a Danish cake pan.
