I love trying unique recipes, especially cooking in cast iron pans. So when I found this Lodge Cast Iron AEbleskiver pan online, I was thrilled to try it. I also bought this AEbleskiver and More "A Sampling of Danish Recipes" cookbook off Amazon and in this video I am cooking the Lemon-flavored AEbleskiver recipe.
Danish AEbleskivers are sort of a cross between pancakes and donuts. This recipe has 2 1/2 cups of buttermilk and 6 eggs, which I think contributed to their light and fluffy texture. We served them with jam, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. AEbleskivers are a fun alternative to the traditional pancake and waffle recipes.
Plus I think it would be fun to make corn bread balls in this cast iron pan as well. Most everything I cook is with Lodge cast iron skillets - they are practically indestructible, affordable, cook quickly and brown nicely.
My bad! They are about the same size. The ones I have had in a restaurant are smaller. The takoyakis are picked around with one or two picks before they are browned to make them round. Here´s a video with a viral song about making takoyaki

They look great! Not bad for the first, err, second time.
Maybe you should use a skewer like the recipe says, and try to pull them around instead of pushing. That is the way Japanesse make takoyaki, morer or less the same but a little smaller, savory and filled with octopuss. This pan should be ideal for that.
