How to Make Danish Pancakes with Ice Cream and Fruit Sauce A Traditional Dansk Pandekage Recipe

When I was growing up my mother used to make Kale Soup then have Danish pancakes for dessert. As children we used to cling to our mother while constantly asking when the pandekager were done. Years later, if there is one thing our family still loves to eat is danske pandekager or Danish Pancakes.

Danish pancakes are very similar to crepes. However, traditional Danish pancakes are served as a dessert. Also, it appears that the Danish pancakes are bigger in size than the crepes and possibly a little sweeter too.

Ingredients:

1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of sugar
a pinch of salt
2 eggs
2 cups of milk
European butter for frying
grated lemon peel
optional filling for the pancakes such as sugar, fruit or nutella

See our YouTube video to see how we made the Danish pancakes too!

Cooking Utensils:

a whisk or a fork
small bowl
spatula
grater
a large non-stick frying pan
measuring cups
measuring spoons

Directions:

Add all ingredients (except butter) into the bowl. Mix well until all clumps are gone.
Let the batter sit in a large measuring cup for 20 to 30 minutes.
Now you are ready to start frying pancakes! Add a bit of butter to a non-stick skillet and heat until medium warm.
Tilt the pan approx 90 degrees and pour batter from the top. The batter will, run down and fill the pan from rim to rim. You can also pour the batter in the middle of the pan and quickly make circling motions to distribute the batter all over the pan. The goal is to have as thin a batter layer as possible.
Cook until the pancake is a bit stiff. Before you flip the pancake be sure the pancake is firm on the edges.
When ready flip over the pancake. You will see it is nice and golden brown. Cook the other side for another 1 minute. The pancake should be light brown on both sides.
When ready, remove the Danish pancake from the frying pan.
Repeat the steps until you have used up all of the batter.

The smell of danske pandekager on the pan is sure to attract everyone in the neighborhood.

In Denmark, pandekager are normally served at kaffetid (coffee hour) at 3 p.m. Formally we usually have coffee or tea with the pancakes. If we have guests, we serve the pancakes on our Royal Copenhagen China and our Georg Jensen silverware.

Danske pandekager can be eaten in many ways. The traditional way is to eat Danish pancakes is to drizzle sugar or marmelade in the center of the pancake. Then roll up the pancake into a roll. My favorite way, albeit the messiest way is with vanilla ice cream and home made fruit sauce. Please see our blog and YouTube video (below) on how to make home made fruit sauce too!

A more modern way to eat Danish pancakes is with bananas and Nutella (Chocolate hazelnut spread). We never had Nutella with our pancakes growing up in Denmark. It is probably the last 10 or 15 years that eating Danish pancakes with Nutella is a popular choice too.

Filling ideas:

fresh fruit - cut up strawberrys, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, etc
jam or jelly
sugar
whipped cream
Nutellla

How to make Danish æbleskive

We are enjoying Scandinavian traditions this time of the year. It is so much fun! We look forward to do Scandinavian cooking, holiday decorating and celebrations with our family and friends. A great weekend afternoon snack to make for our family is Danish aebleskiver or in Danish æbleskiver.

What is an æbleskive?

These are traditional Danish pancakes but in the shape of a sphere or a doughnut hole.
Traditional æbleskive are served with sugar or jam. There are a variety of recipes. Some recipes require buttermilk and other recipes use wheat flour. Below is a typical æbleskiver recipe with buttermilk.

How to make æbleskive

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 a cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil or butter for frying
An aebleskive pan
1 long knitting needle or a fork or a skewer
You can add 1 tsp cardamomand/ or peal of 1/2 lemon

Below the video is an example of how to make aebleskiver.

Directions:

Place the æbleskive pan on a stove top and lightly oil or butter the pan.
Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup.
As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly with a knitting needle. (In Denmark, the Danish cooks traditionally use a knitting needle.)
Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning and it creates the characteristic spherical shape of an æbleskive.
Remove all of the æbleskiver from the pan and generously sprinkle with powdered sugar. Traditionally æbleskiver are served with raspberry jam, strawberry jam or sugar.
If you want to get creative, you can fill æbleskiver with fruit, chocolate, jam or cheese. Now a days, æbleskiver are served for either breakfast, as an hors doeuvre, dessert or light supper.

What is an Aebleskive Pan?

The æbleskive pan is a special cast iron pan used specifically to make æbleskiver. Pans are usually made of cast iron because it allows good heat conduction. The traditional is a cast iron pan indented with seven holes, about 2-1/4 x 1 inch deep, which gives you a finished æbleskive the size and shape of a golf ball. The pan exists in versions for gas and electrical stoves (the latter with a plain bottom). Now a days it is easy to find an æbleskive pan from either buying it online or at a retail store such as William Sonoma. Also, the traditional models in hammered copper plate exist but are today used primarily for decoration. Sometimes the traditional models are found in flea markets or antique shops.

When and where do the Danes eat æbleskiver?
In Denmark, æbleskiver are common to have before Christmas and served with gløgg on the sidewalk cafes. If you are in Tivoli, the restaurants offer æbleskiver as a snack too. Æbleskiver can be bought fried and frozen at supermarkets, only needing heating in an oven.

Trivia: Did you know that æbleskive is singular and æbleskiver is plural?

This history of Æbleskiver

Nobody knows when and where æbleskiver was first made. However, there are interesting theories and legends of how the æbleskiver were created. Below are a couple of fun theories.

One theory is that Vikings during a battle didnt have the proper cookware to make pancakes. The Vikings greased their dented shields and poured the batter on them over a fire which created the the round shape æbleskive.

Another theory is that in the 1600s, the Siam government pushed the European Christian missionaries out of their country including Danes. A Dane brought back a pan from Thailand designed to make Thai delicacies. Once the Dane returned to Denmark, he used pancake batter in the pan and created a new treat called æbleskive.

Trivia: Did you know that the Danish meaning of æbleskiver is apple slices?

How to Make Parsley Sauce Persillesovs

Below is a parsley sauce that is traditional over thick slices of bacon or fish. It really is a delicious sauce and worth trying.

Ingredients:

3 1/2 tablespoons or 50 g of butter
3 tablespoons of flour
1 3/4 cups of milk (other options is fish stock, chicken stock or beef stock)
1 large bunch of washed parsley, finely chopped

optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Kitchen Utensils

cutting board
small-medium heavy saucepan

Melt the butter in the saucepan over medium heat.

Add the flour and whisk until the flour is absorbed into the butter (this a "roux"). Stir for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes thick, smooth and pale beige in color..

Add the milk gradually about 1/3 at a time, and whisk constantly. Keep stirring and bring to boil. You dont want this to burn. Stir constantly for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and thick.

If the sauce is too thick, you need to prime with milk or water. If it is too thin, boil a little more. Avoid the sauce tasting like flour by stirring well and carefully.

Turn down the heat. Add chopped parsley (and lemon juice optional). Season with salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 1-2 minute without boiling.

Cover to keep warm until you are ready to serve. Serve over potatoes, fish, or bacon. Enjoy!

How to Make Danish Fried Onions ! Amazing for hamburgers Smørrebrød Bløde Stegte Løg

Danish pan fried onions are absolutely delicious! If you plan to make Danish hamburgers (Hakkebøf), you need to make the pan fried onions first to give the hamburgers a nice flavor.

What you will need to make Danish Fried Onions

2 to 3 large white onions. it really depends on the size of the onions
1 to 2 tablespoons of butter
a sharp knife
cutting board
a frying pan
a spatula

Instructions

You want the kind that are free of blemishes and that are heavy and firm.
Chill them first -- cold onions will be nicer on your eyes.
Peel the onions and slice them thinly with a sharp knife.
Make sure your pan gets hot before you start.
Then, add butter or oil into the frying pan. Put in enough to spread all over the bottom of the pan. Traditionally we use butter or margarine when making these onion. However you can use oil too.
Once the pan is hot enough, add the onions into the pan. Leave these on the frying pan for a few minutes until these are nice and brown. Fry the onions on low heat.
Stir the onions in the pan so they dont stick. Also, you dont want half to be white and raw and the other half almost black or burn. So keep pushing the onions around. You might need to add more butter and oil.
Total time should take around 5-7 minutes. These will become creamy, sweet, soft and golden. If you like the onions browner, keep stirring these in the pan. Eventually these will burn real fast if you keep these on the pan too long.
When ready, set the onions aside until you are ready to serve your meat dish.

Pan fried onions provides the perfect savoury flavor for meat dishes such as steaks, frikadeller and hakkebøf. If you make enough Danish pan fried onions, it is great as a left over food for a Danish Smørrebrød the next day. Also, we love to add the delicious onions with sauté mushrooms, potatoes and on steaks. It really tastes great with so many dishes and ingredients. If you never had tried pan fried onions, give it a try!

How To Make Rhubarb Syrup For Your Summer Drinks and Cocktails

Rhubarb is a classic Scandinavian fruit served during the summer season. What I love about Rhubarb Syrup is that you can make it for your cocktails, ice tea and even make rhubarb ice cubes. It a fabulous syrup to make the night before you have a pool party. That way when your guest arrive for your pool party or Sunday brunch, all you have to do is combine the ingredients. No worries making it the day of a party!

This recipe is just to make ice cubes and should make about 2 cups of rhubarb syrup. If you need more liquid, you can add more water. If you like the syrup to be less sweet, use less sugar.

Ingredients

For the Rhubarb Syrup

1 to 1 1/2 cup of chopped ruby red rhubarb (about 5 stalks rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch thick)
1 cups water
1 cup of sugar or to taste
1 teaspoon of vanilla
cinnamon stick (optional)

Kitchen Tools

large sauce pot with lid
mesh strainer (- a colander with big holes won’t work!)
Spoon
cutting board
knife
measuring cup

Instructions

First Step: Make the Syrup

Clean the ruby red rhubarb under cold running water, cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Keep slicing until you get 1 cups of sliced rhubarb.
To make the rhubarb syrup, combine chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pot.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until rhubarb has broken into shreds. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the syrup. If it gets too hot, turn the temp down a little more.
Let rhubarb cool for a few minutes before straining.
Then, strain the syrup using a mesh colander. A colander with big holes wont work because alot of the rhubarb pieces might fall into the syrup. A cheesecloth is another helpful way to strain the syrup too. Otherwise, you might have to strain it a couple of times. I don’t mind the yummy rhubarb that might go through into the syrup but to get a clear syrup that is what you might want to do.
Move the solids with a spoon around to extract more syrup. Just dont press the rhubarb mush because it might get into the syrup.
Allow to cool so more. Set the syrup aside in the refrigerator

If you want to make ice cubes, pour the rhubarb syrup into an ice cube tray. Wait until the rhubarb ice cubes are frozen. When you are ready to serve to your guests, serve with a sprig of mint in a glass with clear soda. Garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim of the clear glass. It is really pretty to see the rhubarb ice cubes dissolve in the clear glass.

Other fun ideas

Drizzle rhubarb syrup over plain or vanilla yogurt or vanilla ice cream.

Rhubarb Syrup is great for ice tea.

Top Icelandic yogurt with the rhubarb mush.

The rhubarb mush or solids make a nice quick jam. Its great on toast!

Learn how to make Danish Rémoulade sauce Our step by step guide to make this easy sauce

Remoulade (reh-moo-lahd) is a classic French sauce. Remoulade sauce is found all over the world in many dishes such as in Louisiana, Germany and Scandinavian countries. There are as many versions of this rich mayonnaise base rémoulade as there are cooks who make it.

Remoulade sauce is a condiment meant to enhance flavorful dishes such seafood and meat dishes. In Denmark, the rémoulade sauce is used on fish, hot dogs and on open-face sandwiches including roast beef sandwich. Our version is a Danish family recipe that is simple to make from scratch.

Learning how to make a rémoulade sauce from scratch is a quick and easy process that results in endless variation possibilities. All remoulades are based on either oil or mayonnaise. Some folks make it similar to a tartar sauce and use a yellow mustard for the distinct yellow color. Other people use garlic, paprika and Cajun seasonings. However, alot of folks have their own “secret recipe” for this sauce. Because there are so many options feel free to play with the proportions to make it suit your taste!

Our YouTube video has a very simple recipe to make. Below is one more recipe for you to pick from too. As we mentioned earlier that there are so many ways to make it taste good.

Main Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon of a white onion
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon of capers
dash of curry to taste

Below these ingredients are optional too

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper to taste

Kitchen Utensils:

mixing bowl or electric mixer
a whisk
cutting board
cutting knife
mixing spoon

Directions:

Mince onion, parsley and capers. Be careful not to mince too much which will make them too watery.

Place 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. of mustard, 1 tbsp. of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp. of Worcestershire sauce in a medium mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk everything together in the bowl.

Cover and chill 1 hour. Rémoulade sauce is better if left for a few hours to let the flavors meld. which will allow the flavors to blend and intensify.

Keep refrigerated. Will keep for several days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Æblekage a Delicious Danish Apple Cake Recipe Learn How to Make This Traditional Danish No Bake Dessert

This traditional Danish dessert called Æblekage is really simple to make and delicious. Æblekage translates to Danish apple cake.

No Bake Æblekage

Eventhough it translates to apple cake it is actually a No Bake apple cake! If you have homemade applesauce, breadcrumbs and whipped cream you are ready to go!

See our YouTube video to see how we prepare this delicious dessert.
Plus, like and Subscribe too!

Ingredients:

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
12 slices homemade-type white bread, ground fine in a food processor (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup of sugar
3-4 cups homemade chunky applesauce (recipe follows) or bottled chunky applesauce
1 cup lingonberry, raspberry or strawberry preserves plus additional for garnish
1 cup of whipped cream for garnish and as an accompaniment

Kitchen Tools:

skillet pan
rolling pin
sandwich bag
measuring cup
spoon
handheld mixer
bowl
cooling tray

Instruction:

First stage is either to make your own applesauce or use applesauce from a jar. We prefer to make our own applesauce as it is less runny. A firmer chunkier applesauce holds better with this dessert. The breadcrumbs are less wet with a firmer applesauce. If you want to make your own applesauce, see our Danish applesauce recipe.

Next you need to make whip cream in a small bowl with a handheld mixer. You can set it a side and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use the whipped cream.

Now we are ready to make breadcrumbs golden. We like to use leftover dry bread so nothing is wasted. Put the dry bread in a sealed plastic bag. Crumble the breadcrumbs by both banging the bread and rolling a rolling pin over the sealed bag. Keep crumbling the bread and add the sugar.

Scandinavian Cooking Tip: Another option is to grind the bread is if you have a food processor. However, we like to use the rolling pin instead because there is less clean up.

In a large heavy skillet melt butter over moderate heat. Now stir in the bread crumbs. You can add additional sugar if you like the breadcrumbs to be sweeter. The sugar gives the breadcrumbs a nice flavor and crunchiness for the dessert. Stir the breadcrumbs constantly and break up the lumps, until golden for about 5 minutes.

Stir breadcrumbs until it all becomes golden

Once the breadcrumbs are golden our recommendation is to spread the golden crumbs over a tray to cool. A pizza tray works well for this. You want to keep stirring the breadcrumbs to make sure the breadcrumbs dont start clumping together and are cold too.

Æblekage was a recent viewer request on Google+. If you have any Scandinavian dish requests for us to make, please feel free to let us know!

The final stage is to assemble the Æblekage. In either individual size glasses or a large pretty glass bowl we need to layer the golden breadcrumbs and the applesauce. Make sure to have a clear glass because it is so pretty to see the layers! First layer is the golden breadcrumbs and spread it across.
Next layer is the applesauce.

Here is homemade applesauce! Yum! Looks delicious!

Repeat the steps until you are at the top. The last layer is the whipping cream. Spread the whipped cream across the entire surface from glass rim to glass rim. Final step is to add a tablespoon of preserves on top such as either lingonberry, raspberry or strawberry preserves. Also, as you are layering the proportions are quite forgiving, so feel free to experiment. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

We like to serve the delicious dessert with either a cup of coffee and/or a glass of port. For extra garnish we usually have a a bowl of preserve and a bowl of whipped cream on the coffee table. That way folks can add more flavoring to their liking.

We serve this delicious dessert with either some port in a glass or coffee.
