Wait. Mallet? Well, that's completely different. Never mind.

I was raised on the Hostess chocolate cupcakes with the "cream" filling with the white swirls across the top.
Since residing in Philadelphia, I'm partial to Tastykake's butterscotch krimpets. Simple melt in your mouth goodness!

There's a local bakery near me that makes homemade Hostess chocolate cupcakes, and another one that makes homemade twinkies.

I'll have to try some. Butterscotch is underrated.

Aebleskivers look great, but they're only as good as the pancake batter and the filling you use. They need to be turned with skewers. If you add too much filling it oozes out, but sometimes that's a good thing.

Can we get some pan fried flipper experts?!? By Sunday?!? To feed the r.f.c masses?!?

I ain't admittin' to anything, but it was on sale for $4.75 at "A Store For Cooks."

Ackshully, I have a cast iron aebelskiver pan and use tongs to turn them, with a little nudge from a small spatula:
Aebleskiver (Danish Ball Pancakes)
4 separated eggs 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cups buttermilk [or 3/4 C beer plus 1 1/4 C milk] 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 cups all purpose flour oil or lard
Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside. Beat rest of ingredients until batter is very smooth. Fold in egg whites. Heat [at a moderate temperature] a well-seasoned monk's pan (see tip below) with 1/8 teaspoon oil or lard in each of the 7 holes. Fill each hole [about three-quarters full] with batter. [Be sure to add a few drops of oil to each well in the pan before the next round of batter.] When browned on one side (almost right away), turn with knitting needle [or two-tined fork] and keep turning until needle comes out clean after piercing through the cake. [We find that you need to turn these only once.]
Serve with flavored butters, such as maple or cinnamon honey, syrup, jam and brown or white sugar. As for servings, plan on each person eating 7-10 cakes. Makes approximately 48 pancakes.
