Years ago, a friend returned from visiting her family in Denmark and brought back her family recipe for aebleskiver. After hearing her rave about the tasty round treats sold in bakeries and in street markets there, I ordered an aebleskiver pan and have been making these tender pancake balls ever since. — Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

Can you freeze Aebleskiver?
Freeze cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper in a freezer container. To use, place pancakes on an ungreased baking sheet, cover with foil and reheat in a preheated 375° oven until heated through, 5-10 minutes. Or place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until heated through, 45-90 seconds.
