I have some, ah, "interesting" friends.
One couple recently gave me an aebleskiver pan for my birthday. Tonight I used it for the first time to make something almost - but not entirely - unlike aebleskivers.
For those not familiar with them, you can google them, I suppose, or you can just take my word on it that they are a Danish dish, much like a pancake, but cooked in a very oddly shaped pan that results in their looking a bit like two inch diameter baseballs. Usually they are sweet - like a pancake, as mentioned - but they can also be savory if made differently. They might also be filled with fruit or other things to make them even more interesting.
Tonight I tried a simple whole wheat pancake recipe, and it worked out well. My cooking technique needs work - the results looked a bit like misshapen, damaged footballs, but they tasted good, even the filled ones.
My wife doesn't like the recipe I used - she claims she can taste the baking power or some such thing - but it worked for me.
I'll keep playing with this pan from time to time, trying different - and progressively weirder - things. It should be fun.
Thanks to Alan & Irene - the previously mentioned "interesting friends - for the birthday gift!
