Aebleskiver Blog

The girls have a new favorite! We have made breakfast for dinner twice lately so they can enjoy this new flavor.  Perfect this time of year.

Melt 1/4 cup butter, add 3T sugar and 1/4t cinnamon and nutmeg and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar 3-5 minutes.  I added some brown sugar too. Add a couple of diced up Granny Smith apples and simmer until apples are tender.  I may have added a bit more cinnamon as we love that flavor.  I used the Solvang Restaurant mix and added some cinnamon to the batter.  Placing a T of batter in each buttered cup, adding 1t of the apple mixture and another T of batter. Cook, turning as needed until cooked through. We dusted them with powdered sugar and served with additional apple on the side.  These are so yummy.  We also had Danish sausage to round our our breakfast for dinner.  Hope you try this one, it was really good. Grace was licking the plate when she was done.

We at the Solvang Restaurant hope you and yours had a joyous Holiday Season and wish you the Happiest of New Years.

Grace was a busy cook. She made the Solvang Restaurant Aebleskiver with a Olallieberry Curd filling. She added a little lemon zest to the batter and she and her sister Kayla loved the results.

Olallieberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and we feature several Linn’s Olallieberry products:  Olallieberry Preserves, Sugar Free Preserves, Jelly, Tea, Curd and Syrup.  For something different and delicious, give Olallieberries a try!

We are making a change in how we ship orders from solvangrestaurant.com.  We will be using the SmartPost feature from FedEx. The way this works is FedEx picks up the package and ships it to a US Postal hub in your area. The package is then delivered to you by the US Postal Service. This allows PO Box and Saturday deliveries. We hope you will find this more convenient. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at info@solvangrestaurant.com.

We can hardly believe it is February already. In honor of Valentine’s Day we decided to make Chocolate Aebleskiver and WOW, they were delicious. Not very pretty, but that doesn’t matter much when eating chocolate.  We used the Solvang Restaurant batter, added a bit of vanilla and lots of melted chocolate.  Stirred it into the batter along with the other liquid ingredients. We put some batter in the well and added more chocolate, and topped with more batter before turning.

 The best part was eating them with Bedstemor’s Raspberry Jam, the combination of Raspberry and Chocolate was just wonderful.  Everyone enjoyed the afternoon snack and will definitely make these again.  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

This Holiday Season the junior chefs had some extra help from their Colorado cousins in the test kitchen. The recipe was a Cream Cheese-filled Spiced Aebleskiver that was wonderful.

Junior Chefs Kayla and Grace had the help of Michael to mix the batter. They added vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon to our Solvang Restaurant Aebleskiver mix. They softened cream cheese and whipped in some powdered sugar.

Grace took over as cook, she added batter to the pan, a dollop of cream cheese with powdered sugar and topped with more batter before turning.

Kayla's ready to get cooking

Junior cook Kayla took charge today and did a fine job creating a version of S’Mores with the aebleskiver pan. Her batter consisted of ground up graham crackers

and a touch of nutmeg to the usual fair.  While cooking we put some marshmallow cream inside each aebleskiver and after cooking drizzled with chocolate.  Not quite the same as S’Mores over the campfire, but tasty just the same. Be sure to eat these warm if you give them a try.

Our guest today is our friend Jane. She enjoyed her S’Mores and had lots of ideas for the next time. Maybe we’ll recruit her for the team.
