AEBLESKIVER (DANISH PANCAKES)
As a young girl, I constantly craved Saturdays and Sundays when my mother would prepare these small delicious pancakes. Now as a college student, I still look forward to Christmas time when our family is together and my mother and I prepare an overwhelming amount to feed family members! Definitely add in any kind of jam, peanut butter, honey, Nutella®, chocolate chips, fruit (diced apples, blueberries, etc.); the possibilities are endless and so delicious!

Steps:
- Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
- Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don't forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it's all about rotation! Use a long skewer or knitting needle to lift one edge and give it a 1/4 turn. The uncooked batter will spill over into the cup, and cook. Continue lifting and turning the edges until the batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.

MINI GERMAN PANCAKES
Easy as turning on your blender. These delicious morsels are made in muffin tins, topped with your favorite jam and sprinkled with powdered sugar. These are similar to what I used to call Swedish pancakes made in a cast iron skillet and baked in the oven. This is way easier.

Tips:
- Use a large skillet. This will ensure that the pancakes have enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes will brown too quickly and not cook through in the center.
- Use a little bit of butter or oil to grease the skillet. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Pour the batter into the skillet in a thin, even layer. This will help the pancakes cook evenly.
- Don't flip the pancakes too soon. Wait until the edges are golden brown and the tops are bubbly before flipping.
- Cook the pancakes for a few minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

German pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion.
