Soooooo, that gorgeous little pan has been dragged out every winter since, I have tried and tweaked many recipes to come up with this one (that never fails me) and these addictive little numbers are firmly ensconced in my cooking repertoire and my heart. Every time I eat them it takes me back to the lovely country from which they come, and reminds of all the lovely people and great times I enjoyed there.
This recipe makes around 40 balls. When they were served to me in Denmark they were accompanied with a strawberry conserve and icing sugar, my 'technique' is to dip in icing sugar then spoon on some conserve then shove it lovingly into my mouth!:) Of course a search on the internet shows all sorts of things to put with them, but I stick to that one because it's what feels familiar, and I think it is the ritualistic aspect of foods such as these that makes the experience. If you feel the need to try this recipe the pans are available in New Zealand (at a price). I last saw them on the Millys website. To complete the sharing of this I had to video how the little pan works, they really are a marvel! It does help to get the recipe right, the wrong one makes for very difficult turning, but when it's right it is almost like poetry! Don't laugh at my video editing skills though, it is my first attempt!!!!!

What a techie whizz you are Linda! I won't try and pronounce them, but they look gorgeous - all puffy and delicious. How cool to have gone to Denmark, never got there myself.
This is rally interesting. I lived 7 years in Norway but didn't come across anything similar. We also visited Denmark & now I feel quite 'homesick'! Look delic. though!!
I have to try these, have never come across them before but I can imagine how delicious they are.
