Premium nonstick coating ensures clean release of the ball-shaped pancakes. Riveted cast-stainless-steel handle stays cool. Makes seven 2 1/4" diam. pancakes. Made in USA. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

My mom is Danish, so we grew up eating aebleskiver. I continued this tradition and have some happy memories of my son and his friends in line at the stove where I'd have two or three pans going at a time. As I handed them a full plate, they would return to the back of the line and by the time they had made 3 trips (often more), their plates were empty and tummies full.
Recently, I was happy to find this pan to add to my collection. I like the non-stick coating, it is lighter than my other cast iron pans, and it conducts heat very well. I didn't bother purchasing the wooden turning tool. Instead, I have a size 2 knitting needle that works perfectly. My favorite filling is a chunk of apple and after baking, we shake them in a paper bag filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Now, my son is grown but I’m looking forward to sharing this tradition with my grandchildren someday.

I love this pan, and I do love the results, but I do not love what a big mess you have to make! I am not an inexperienced cook/baker. I have been doing so for over 30 years, but who wants to use SO many kitchen items to make one thing?
The results are wonderful, however. I would say that I would like it if one could do with a bit less puffiness so they would have more substance. My expectation when I purchased this pan was a denser product. Does anyone out there have any recipes that do not depend on the egg whites?
All in all, I do think it's a great product. You will just have to figure out the temperature setting to get a consistently good result. I do NOT recommend the turning tool, however. They are too thick and are difficult to use. Use wooden skewers instead. The recipe book is great, and I would highly recommend that for versatility.

I love these filled pancakes! They are a big hit with my 3- and 5-year old as well! I highly recommend the wooden tool they sell to go with it, as it makes it easy to turn over without having to worry about scratching the surface. I have made them with various fruit preserves, chocolate chips, fresh bananas, nutella (our favorite!) and it is delicious all these ways. If you are good at making pancakes, you can make an ebelskiver!
I have bought this as a housewarming gift with the the premade mix and wooden tool and it makes a great gift set.

I was surfing around the W-S website and stubbled upon this item. I did a little research and took the plunge. This is a very good quality pan and I feel like I've "mastered" the Ebelskivers after just two tries (I filled them with ready made apple pie filling with some cinnamon added). The kids and adults LOVED them! More work than pancakes, obviously, but not much more. Fun to make!
I have a hunch these might become a popular item ...
One note: Make sure you use something like wood or plastic to flip them. The first time I used the pan I quickly grabbed some metal shish kabob skewers and made a couple of minor scratches on the non-stick surface. I now use plastic forks to turn the little pies.

I bought this to make pancakes for the kids and with the right tools it is easy. I would recommend buying the wooden turners and also buying a pancake squeeze bottle to put your batter in which makes filling the form much easier. I used the recipe that came with the Ebelskiver and it was very good. I did order the two pancake mixes as well.

We just love our ebelskiver pan. It makes light, fluffy, filled pancakes that keep us coming back for more. I also recommend the Ebelskivers cookbook that Williams-Sonoma offers. There are different batters and many different kinds of ebelskivers to make. Most of all, it's just FUN to make them and DELICIOUS to eat them!

My kids LOVE Ebelskivers!!!

This is one of my favorite things. We entertain kids all the time and ebelskivers are definitely a favorite at our house. My kids friends ask for them every time they spend the night. Although it's a little time consuming to make these wonderful filled pancake puffs, they are well worth the effort. The kids request their fillings and off I go to make them. I now own two pans, because one pan just doesn't make enough when I'm entertaining 4 or 5 boys. This way I can make 14 at a time. They'll put away 70 + in no time!! The pan is easy to use, but you definitely need to buy the ebelskiver turners that they recommend so that you don't scratch up your pan. And, any pancake batter will do. We fill ours with chocolate chips, maple syrup and different flavored jellies. Then sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Thanks Williams Sonoma. We love our ebelskivers!!

I love my Ebelskivers!
I just purchased this pan and used the recipe provided on the packaging.
They were fun to make and everyone in my family enjoyed them! And, that is no easy task - with a husband and 3 grown boys as the critics!

This is such a fun pan. We have been using it for the Dutch poffertjes and it's awesome. Easy clean. Non-stick. Plus there are tons of other things you can use it for. Poach eggs, etc. Highly Recommend this product.
