Great info about the island of Ær...Greetings Ymse!<br /><br />Great info about the island of Ærø, that could be the link we have been looking for. <br /><br />Having had Æbleskiver and Futges I guess I never thought to compare the 2. To me they really are a very different animal. It's my understanding that the Æbleskiver is made with a batter, more like pancakes, while the futges really is a rich dough, more like a dohnut. <br /><br />The presence of fritters in German cooking can be found in surviving recipe books from the 16th c so I don't see fritters being uniquely German or Danish. The info on the prunes is very cool.

In Denmark it is made in a special fryingpan with holes for the dough. The word means appleslices and I think that from the beginning it had a just that inside instead of prunes. <br />The fact that you have them with prunes in it indicate that the person who started the tradition in your family have connections with a small danish island called Ærø, in the archipelago of southern Denmark.<br />It is usually made without anything in it and you eat it with strawberry jam and icing sugar upon it:)<br /><br />Here you have two links:<br /> <br />1.Æbleskivepande(the special fryingpan)<br />http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons<br />/a/a8/AebleskiverFront.jpg<br /><br />2.
