Eating for Two: Brown Rice with Lentils and Apricots
A cup or OJ (or anything similarly acidic) helps improve iron absorption. Making an acidic food, such as tomato sauce, in a cast iron pot will add a good deal of iron to a meal.

Gadgets: The Aebelskiver Pan
I don't have one of these pans...but I do have a Tako-yaki pan from my time in Japan...they look fairly similar. Maybe I'll give it a whirl this weekend...

I got my aebleskiver pan for ten bux in an after-Christmas sale at Rite Aid a few years ago.
I don't bother with fillings. I just cook cornbread batter and serve with butter and syrup. Sybaritic!
I'm most comfortable with something about as thick as a quick-bread batter.

Thanks for mentioning us!
TeriN- my mother uses her cast iron pan on her black ceramic stove top & it works great!
We are very excited about our 9-hole cast iron pan! We are curently putting the finishing touches on it with a local foundry here In Minneapolis. We're hoping Mr. Aebleskiver will have them available on his site too!
So glad to see so many families still enjoying aebleskiver!

Aebelskiver. Takoyaki. Kanom krok.
Best. Pan. Ever.

Ha, duh. How did I miss that? Thanks, Nikki! Looking forward to your future posts.

Glad I could help, Indecisive Eater!
Meem, there's a recipe linked in the article above, to the right. There's a batter recipe, which is certainly worth trying, though when I'm lazy, Bisquick works well too. (It may not be from scratch, but you could never tell, and it's a whole lot cheaper than the Williams Sonoma mix!)

I got one for Christmas but haven't broken it out yet. Does anyone have a good basic recipe to start? I don't want to resort to that mix at Williams Sonoma.

I got mine from Amazon for very little money and it's cast iron. The pans from TV are flimsy. The pan usually comes with a small cookbook.
The pancake puffs are delicious and about as much fun as they say. I stuffed a couple with Nutella and thought my friends were going to carry me around on their shoulders.

My mom is Danish and we use this pan all the time. It's pronounced aye-ble-skew-uh
(sort of)

Welcome and thank you for this article! I've been wanting a takoyaki maker so sometime now, but could not justify it's single usage to my husband. This offered me a cheaper option and shows many sound uses for it! And he's now excited about it!! I order one from Amazon and cannot wait till it arrives.

My Grandfather was Danish - and I remember many many summer mornings sitting across the breakfast table from him trying to see who could eat more! My poor Grandmother would be making Aebelskiver for hours!
When my girls were little these were their favorite breakfast treat - always, like at Grandmother's, with bowls of powdered sugar, and wonderful homemade jams and apple butter to scoop up in them.
My DH loves them - I don't make them too often - but they are always a warm and wonderful reminder of my childhood. Thank you for the memories. I shall have to try some savory ones one of these days. Grandmother and Grandfather will roll in their graves - but perhaps she'd have loved them.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! These filling suggestions are seriously tempting...

So, so good. I grew up near Solvang and it was always a treat to go have aebelskivers. I love making a cinnamon bun version, very sweet, but so delicious!
They're similar to these- http://bayareafoodieblog.com/2008/12/14/cinnamon-bun-ebelskiver/

My Lord....I have to get one of these. I saw that episode where Aaron Sanchez was talking about them too. I've wanted them ever since. Off to amazon...
Gadgets: The Aebelskiver Pan
Yum, I learned how to make these just two weeks ago. We made a savory and a sweet batch. the savory we stuffed with cheeses, mustard, and sausage, and the batter was made with beer. The sweet ones- cream cheese and berries and bananas were my two favorite.

When I went to the aebelskiver site, all the pans I looked at said "not for FLAT TOP ELECTRIC stoves". So sad.. that is what I have. Is that because it's cast iron? Because I do use cast iron on my flat/electric stove, but i'm very very careful 8-)
Gadgets: The Aebelskiver Pan
Could someone please tell me how to SAY that word?
Facinating.. how could i live this long and NEVER heard of these?

It really matters what iron supplement you take, too - ask your OB - iron can be really harsh on your stomach, but I find Schiff's Gentle Iron far more tolerable. Your OB can help you figure out what dose, pregnancy changes things a lot. I just recall that my doctor said the dosage on the bottle has little to do with what your body will absorb, so they need to do some calculations for you. Best of luck - I understand what you're saying about thinking iron supplementation is a scam, I've thought the same for the longest time about calcium, gingivitis, acid reflux - any ailments which allow the drug companies to supply us with expensive supplements, or which require extensive dental work - hee hee. Nonetheless, you need to pay attention when your iron levels show as too low. Take care!

My favorite Easter (or any holiday, really) food is my mom's cheese potato casserole.

Chocolate. (We have either ham or turkey, whichever we have not had most recently. Never lamb, which my family won't eat.)
