Welcome to our new blog. We will use this to make aebleskiver even more popular to make and, of course, eat! You might be wondering what aebleskiver is. If you have ever been to Solvang in California, chances are you have already had some. You can hardly walk down the street and not either see them being eaten or had some yourself.
Solvang is what is known as "The Danish Capital of America". It is a small town started by some Danish educators looking for a perfect place to start a Danish folk school on the West Coast. It was started in 1911 and has grown in size and popularity to what it is now. In fact it is now so well known, that the Amgen Bicycle Tour selected it as the 5th stop on its recent race in February of this year.
Every year Solvang has its "Danish Days Celebration" in September. The main attraction is serving aebleskiver to all comers. At that time they are served as a breakfast item with a Danish Sausage and accompanied with orange juice and coffee or milk. Approximately 5-10,000 visitors come for this celebration each year.
If you have some questions you might like to have answered regarding Solvang or aebleskiver feel free to ask them and I will try to answer them for you.
