THE STORY

The inspiration for MORMOR stems from fond childhood memories learning to make æbleskiver at “pancake” breakfasts in Minneapolis with my grandparents. Not only was this a special experience I shared with my grandparents, it was an amazing opportunity to connect with others who became mesmerized watching the æbleskiver take shape.

MORMOR is named after my grandmother – Grethe Petersen – who I call “Mormor,” which translates to “Mom’s Mom” in Danish. Not only has she taught me everything I know about making æbleskiver, she even taught the Cooking Channel a thing or two about Danish cooking on an episode of My Grandmother’s Ravioli. Watch her teach Mo Rocca how to make æbleskiver here!

Not only is æbleskiver delicious, it has brought so much happiness into my life, and I hope it brings some into yours as well!
