I guarantee your family will love aebleskiver - Danish puffed pastries. After all, we're talking strawberry shortcake, salted caramel, and a hundred more.
We lived high on a hill overlooking the university and on to Fairbanks, Alaska. At night, from our dining room, you could see the lights of the city while northern lights rippled overhead.
I made Merri Ann one of those candlelight and white linen dinners that I was so much better at doing when I was younger. She loves steaks so dinner was easy. But the dessert- I always try to make something different and extra special for dessert. It's my way of telling her that she is extra special and that I love her.
Aebleskiver are extra special but easy enough that you can make them often.
Make them from scratch or make them from a mix. Since they are called Danish Puff Pastries, they work as a snack or a dessert but often they are served for breakfast. They certainly beat pancakes. They're great as your family's signature breakfast or for a special occasion. Your family will appreciate you every time you make them.
They're easy. They're good. They're fun.
