Danish Pancakes Breakfast Dishes

A delicious breakfast dish that’s a staple in Denmark – Danish Pancakes! These buttery puff-ball pancakes are a breakfast classic in many Danish homes and are quick and easy to make, customizable, and incredibly delicious.

🔴 What are Danish Pancakes?

Danish pancakes, also known as æbleskiver, are a traditional Danish treat, usually during the month of December around Christmas time. These little balls of joy are traditionally made with buttermilk and are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

To make them, you’ll need a special æbleskiver pan with round wells. The batter is pretty similar to regular pancake batter, but it’s extra rich and creamy thanks to the eggs, butter, and milk.

Danish ball pancakes were originally made with small pieces of apples inside but the recipe has since been adapted to include a variety of different fillings or no filling at all.
✴️✴️✴️ Ingredients ✴️✴️✴️
You can easily find all the main ingredients for Danish pancake balls at your local grocery store.

🔴All-purpose flour: The foundation for the perfect pancake texture.

🔴Baking powder: The magic ingredient that makes these pancakes fluffy and light.

🔴Kosher salt: Balances out the sweetness and adds a little something-something to the flavor.

🔴Cane or granulated sugar: Sweetens the pancakes and helps to create a crispy, golden crust.

🔴Eggs: The glue that holds everything together while also adding some moisture and richness.

🔴Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the pancakes, making them tender and soft.

🔴Unsalted butter: Adds an extra layer of richness and flavor.

🔴Fruit preserves: Adds natural sweetness and a burst of fruit flavor.


🔴How to Make
Let’s spice things up a bit! Here are some fun and easy variations to add your personal touch to your Danish pancake balls recipe:

➡️Go nuts: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the batter for added crunch and flavor.
➡️Fruity goodness: Swap out the fruit preserves with fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, or peaches for a more natural flavor.
➡️Get cheesy: Fill your pancakes with your favorite cheese, like cheddar or even goat cheese, for a savory twist.
➡️Spice it up: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the batter for a warm and cozy flavor.
➡️Add chocolate: Add chocolate chips or a dollop of Nutella as a filling.

Chiken Chow Mein - Chinese Restaurant Foods

#️⃣CHICKEN CHOW MEIN 🥘🥘🥘🥘

Chow mein is a traditional Chinese dish made with egg noodles and stir-fried veggies. We love adding a protein and our favorite is chicken, but you can try different meat or tofu.

Chow mein is perfect for those nights when you don’t want to dirty too many pans or make a big mess of the kitchen.
