What is it?

[Finster101]

My mom has this and neither of us know what it is for. It is cast iron and has three feet on it.

Looks like a muffin pan to me.

Cast iron drop biscuit pan. Any markings?

Looked all over it, no markings. Hard to tell from the picture but the cavities are rounded, not tapered and square on the bottom like a muffin pan would be.

I think the previous posts are correct. You'd likely grease the cavities, fill with batter, bake, then turn it upside down and bonk it on a table or counter top. The muffins would come out sitting on the flat part which was the top, and the rounded ends would be standing upward. Truthfully, though, that's a guess!

This pan is a Swedish or Danish Aebleskiver pan. This is a snack desserts that are spherical, cooked, dough balls that have a similar consistency to pancakes in the United States. The name “Aebleskiver” directly translated means “apple slices” because traditionally they are cooked with apple slices in the middle.

I knew it wasn't a muffin or bisquit pan because of the lack of a flat bottom ... when baked this pan would turn out a half-ball ... I knew it was some "specialty" baked good but down here in South Louisiana you don't see many Aebleskiver's .... anyone got a recipe ...I mean you got the pan ...you got to make some of them Apple-Skiver's !!!

Well, okay, now that I know what it is and have a recipe, I am going to give it a try.

Guess I was wrong, thought was a ingot mold. GW
