Pom Pom Pancakes

About the Recipe: A traditional Scandinavian pancake dish, prepared in an Ebelskiver (Aebleskiver) pan, creates round pancake balls, flavored with cardamom or other spices. Jam, preserves, or chocolate are placed inside the pancake balls.  Our recipe can be prepared as a savory or sweet pancake.  Enjoy experimenting and adding your favorite jams or toppings using squirt bottles.  This is one of those “have lots of fun” recipes.

Cook’s Note:  When I was a child, my mother would prepare these pancakes on special occasions and fill them with apples. Making this recipe, I really enjoyed reliving that wonderful memory.

To Serve as a Dessert:  Fill 3 tiny squirt bottles with your favorite topping, caramel, chocolate, or jelly.  Insert tip of squirt bottle into the pancake ball and pipe in filling. You can also just serve with your favorite jam or jelly on the side.  Sprinkle dessert Pom Pom pancakes generously with confectioners’ sugar.

We also have several small bowls of relish or preserves.

To Serve as a Savory Appetizer or Snack:  Generously sprinkle cooked Pom Pom Pancakes with confectioners’ sugar. Split each ball in half like a little sandwich; place 1 thin slice of cooked chicken sausage on the pancake bottom, stuff teaspoon of favorite jam on top of sausage; close top. For a dinner party, guests can create their own mini sandwiches. We like serving our trio of squirt bottles filled with hot pepper jelly, chocolate, and thin apricot spread
