| 10 | Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning, until the knitting needle comes out clean when stuck in the center. |
| 11 | Serve #bleskive hot with powdered sugar, jam, and jelly. |
| 12 | Notes included with recipe: for those of you who are unfamiliar with #bleskive, it is a baked delight made with a pancake-like batter, cooked in a special pan that turns the #bleskive into a crusty ball, and is known as the "danish doughnut." as you can tell, it is a little difficult to give #bleskive an easy definition other than to tell you that it is good enough to go ahead and order the pans if you are likely to serve breakfasts and brunches to family and friends. |
| 13 | #bleskive pans are available through most gourmet cookware shops or can be ordered from pea soup andersen"s santa ynez valley wine center, (805)-688-558 |
