How To Prepare Æbleskiver Leftovers…

 


We made too many…it’s a curse, really, when you’re making Danish pancakes, or æbleskiver (that’s the plural, not æbleskivers…). In our house, we make as many as we can, make them until the batter runs out. The good and bad about æbleskiver is that they look so small that you could eat dozens. After a while, you realize…

It’s not meant to be.

So, we gathered the uneaten balls of deliciousness and put them in the fridge.

Last year our son bought us an air fryer…a good air fryer. We were air fryer virgins before that, didn’t know what they were good at making. After the gift was given, we went out and bought all sorts of food, frozen French fires (of course…), egg rolls, hash browns. Some things the air fryer worked swimmingly, but, as with most things, it wasn’t perfect for all occasions.


After the æbleskiver had sat in the fridge for a few days, I decided to see if the air fryer was the right appliance to bring the chilled Danish pancakes back to life. I threw in half a dozen, hit four minutes on high heat and hit the button, hoping for the best.

The best is what I got.

They tasted great, almost a great as when they were freshly baked. Again, not perfect, but pretty darn close.

So, if you “accidentally” make too many æbleskiver the next time you find yourself making æbleskiver, throw the extra in the fridge and pull out the air fryer. Serve them up with your favorite toppings and you’re in for a good æbleskiver any time.

Værsgo!
