Wikipedia

Æbleskiver (Danish meaning ''apple slices'' (singular: ''æbleskive'')) are traditional Danish pancakes in a distinctive shape of a sphere. Somewhat similar in texture to American pancakes crossed with a popover, Æbleskiver are solid like a pancake but light and fluffy like a popover. The English language spelling is usually aebleskiver or ebleskiver. In the United States, the most famous version of the aebelskiver is a commercial repackaging of the pan, called Pancake Puffs, which is treated as a new invention, with no mention of its heritage included.

[edit] About Aebleskivers

Jam can be spread on with a knife, but better to spoon the jam onto the plate, then mush an opened Aebleskiver into the jam, and then the sugar. Jam is preferred, since jelly won't stick in the mushing process.
