There’s something extra special about a warm, golden pancake with a sweet surprise tucked inside. Ebelskivers, traditional Danish filled pancakes, are crisp and golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and made for filling with everything from fresh berries to chocolate.
Our version gets a Scotty’s Everyday makeover using Scotty’s Everyday Pancake & Waffle Mix, making it easy to create these fun, bite-sized pancakes at home without starting from scratch.
Perfect for a weekend breakfast, holiday brunch, or anytime you want to make breakfast a little more special, ebelskivers are surprisingly simple once you get the hang of turning them.
What Are Ebelskivers?
Ebelskivers (also spelled æbleskiver) are traditional Danish round pancakes cooked in a special pan (Ebelskiver pan required) with individual round cavities. Unlike a traditional flat pancake, they’re turned while cooking to create their signature golden, almost spherical shape.
Traditionally served as a sweet treat, ebelskivers are delicious on their own with a dusting of sweetener—but we especially love them filled.
Try fresh raspberries, blueberries, sugar-free jam, sugar-free chocolate chips, or small pieces of your favorite fruit. You can even put out several fillings and let everyone create their own.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Using Scotty’s Everyday Pancake & Waffle Mix takes much of the work out of the batter while still giving you that soft, tender center you want in an ebelskiver.
A touch of vanilla adds warmth, while optional cardamom gives the pancakes a more traditional Scandinavian-inspired flavor. Cinnamon works beautifully, too.
And then there’s the best part: the filling hidden inside.
Cut into a warm ebelskiver and discover a raspberry, melted chocolate, or a little pocket of jam in the center. It’s an easy way to turn pancakes into something that feels completely different.
