Danish breakfast: Ebelskiver

When I go online to discover new recipes, it can sometimes suddenly be hours later. While some fill and then empty shopping carts or can spend whole days crafting with Pinterest images, I do this by coming up with new ideas for dishes. Yesterday, I came across something that immediately made me head into the city. I had to and would become the proud owner of a pancake pan.

And not just any for ordinary pancakes (although this savory Japanese variant is fantastic), but this time for this traditional Danish delight: Ebelskiver, or the Danish puff but filled with whatever you want. With Nutella, of course. Or speculoos. Or jam. All delicious. I'm going to test my pancake pan, yay!
