Aebleskiver



For breakfast, while in Solvang, one has to get some aebleskivers! Denmarks answer to a beignet - kind of like a pancake ball, and a little dense like a doughnut, and not very sweet on its own. Doused in raspberry jam and powdered sugar, three of these (and a side a bacon), we were ready for the drive home.

I love Aebleskivers! None of my bi-annual visits to Solvang are ever complete unless I get some of these from the Solvang Restaurant's take-window.

I've never eaten inside so I miss out on the salty sweet combination of bacon and jam. Maybe I'll finally have to give it a go next time I make the drive?

Out of curiosity, do you know of any other places along the way to the windmill City worth stopping at. I've not done the pea soup at Anderson's but have always wondered about that place.

Here is my experience from my blog:
