Another Danish tradition: æbleskiver. One should think, that they contains slices of apples, but that was in the old days. The best way to describe them is a similary to pancakes, just fluffed since they are made in a special æbleskive pan and you dip them in jam when eating them. At Christmas functions they are often served with glögg, the Scandinavian version of mulled wine.
In the period up to Christmas you can buy them frozen, and either heat them up in the oven, in the microwave or in the special pan - the best result you get when using the pan.

Oh YUM! Just gained 5 pounds lookin' at 'em!
Oh, excitement here..love them! My MIL made the best I've ever had and yes, sometimes there were apples in them. She's gone, her pan disappeared and after years of hunting I finally found one for me to make her recipe. Hubby does jam, me - maple syrup. Thanks for bringing back fond memories of a special lady.
They liked calling them bullets because of their shape. Still smiling ;)
I saw a pan like this at the kitchen shop. I wondered what they were for! Those look delicious!
I have one of these pans.. I bought it from Williams Sonoma some years ago and they make pure yummy stuff.. I think now I shall have to pull mine out and make something as my family loved it last time ... : ) Your treats look delightful!
Mmmmm! Looks tasty!
Those look delicious, I think they would taste fantastic with a bit of jam and mulled wine. I love learning these traditional foods for Christmas!
