Dansk Aebleskiver (Danish Doughnuts)
This traditional Danish donut is a favorite family affair, especially for my husband, who is from Denmark. I make the batter, my husband does the cooking, and the kids help us make them disappear! We like to dip our aebleskivers in raspberry jam, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. The cardamom gives them that something extra. No wonder this recipe is a family favorite! Danish cooks use a long knitting needle to turn doughnuts, but you can use a fork, too.
