As I was walking through the aisle of the St Vincent de Paul Thrift
shop looking for more strawberry plates to go with my vintage set,
I saw an unusual pan sitting on the shelf and rushed over to grab it
before anyone else did. Someone thought it was egg cookware,
others just didn't have any idea -- but I did.
It's an Ebelskiver pan!
I have been wanting one of these for years.
This one was priced at $3.50 and looks like it has been
on the shelf since just before Christmas.
It is a Nordic Ware Cast Aluminum pan priced on line at $50.
You can see the Link here
And how to cook on it here
They are little Danish pancake balls that can be filled with a wide variety
of fillings from fruit to cheese or other sweet fillings. I can't wait to try them!
Congratulions on your find!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I would have been one of those who thought it was for eggs:) How do you know that word? Danish heritage? What a great find.
ReplyDeleteYes, my dad s a full Dane so I am half.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a recipe for the pancakes in the cookbook from Solvain. They are a lot of fun to use. But it does take some practices.
ReplyDeleteThere is! I have the cookbook sitting next to the pan right now. It's a little different than the on line recipe but I think it's things that you would normally have about the house. I'm going to try this over the weekend! Thanks again, that cookbook sure has come in handy.
ReplyDeleteI would be one to think you cook eggs in it...
ReplyDeletein fact, I've passed one up I think...because of that very thought.
good for you knowing what it is...and know that you wanted it, without hesitation!
...I sometimes get buyers remorse.
But not when I know what I'm shopping for... KNOW IS HALF THE BATTLE!
