Æbleskiver og øl aften: Making Sweet & Savory Danish Treats (with a beer)

  • Norway House 913 East Franklin Avenue Minneapolis United States (map)

A collaboration of Norway House and our friends at the Danish American Center.

Æbleskiver, or less elegantly pancake balls, are small, round pastries that lend themselves to dozens of flavorful variations. Join three æbleskiver afficionados for a hands-on class that will double as dinner. Sip your beer as Tina Paulsen from the Danish American Center (DAC) teaches you about æbleskiver in Danish-American culture. Susan Jacobsen, also from the DAC, will teach you how to make perfectly round æbleskiver. Then Carstens Smith from Norway House will set you up at cooking stations. Make batters, choose from a variety of fillings – working from savory to sweet – and learn by doing. Share your creations with other cooking stations so everyone will have an opportunity to sample a wide variety of fillings and flavors. You will master the classic æbleskiver, then learn variations including salmon, cream cheese, and dill; Jarlsberg and ham; three-cheese; orange-raisin; chocolate ganache; chai spice; and lemon. 

Price includes one glass of Carlsberg or other beverage and all the æbleskiver you can eat. Please bring a cap or some other way to tie back your hair. Norway House bandanas will be available for purchase for this purpose.
