Prue’s World Cast Iron Dumpling Pan

Prue’s World Cast Iron Dumpling Pan

Product number: 26440

Fried to a crisp golden brown on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside; bursting with savoury or sweet flavours; it’s hard to beat a stove-top dumpling when it comes to a delicious, freshly-made snack, and this Cast Iron Dumpling or Aebleskiver Pan delivers seven perfectly cooked ones at a time.

What’s an aebleskiver? A Danish snack whose name literally translates as ‘apple slices’, they’re deliciously light, fluffy, spherical pancakes, traditionally served at breakfast and cooked in a dimpled, cast iron pan just like this one. The cast iron construction ensures the heat from your hob is distributed quickly and evenly, so you can start frying up your scrumptious little spheres in moments, and the enamel non-stick coating ensures they’re released easily. Just heat on a medium to high heat, melt a little butter in each ‘dimple’, swirl to coat, then add your sweet or savoury batter. Once the edges have started to pull away from the sides, they’re ready to rotate or flip and cook a little more until they’re a gorgeous golden brown all over.

Perfect if you fancy something a little different for breakfast – you can make savoury, protein-packed eggy bites if you draw the line at eating sweet stuff first thing! – it’s also fantastic for whipping up brunch bits, afternoon snacks or sweet suppers. In a word: lækker (or delicious, if your Danish isn’t that good!).

It also comes with a fabric handle cover to help you get a more comfortable grip – just remember to remove it before you turn on your hob.

About our Prue’s World range

We tell anyone who’ll listen – we love to cook and can think of nothing better than finding creative, authentic kitchen tools that make cooking a joyful experience. So when Prue Leith approached us to collaborate on an exciting new range inspired by her trips around the world, we thought all of our birthdays had come at once!

Prue has been everywhere. She’s had an amazing life of cookery and adventure, and her culinary voyages have been a huge influence in this range’s creation. As well as being a passionate chef, founder of Leiths School of Food and Wine, TV personality, restaurateur and writer, she’s a globetrotter with a love of foods from afar, and the cookware in her own kitchen has been cherry-picked from her trips around the world.

A self-confessed Lakeland fan, Prue invited us into her home and we were like children in a sweet shop, exploring her vast, eclectic cookware kit for inspiration. Her wonderful stories behind each piece, as well as Prue’s exacting guidance, has resulted in a range that’s as interesting and colourful as Prue herself.

Prue says “I want everyone to experience the pleasure and satisfaction of producing food to share with others.” Prue tested every item herself to ensure everything worked as it should, and if something wasn’t quite right, she helped us make it perfect.

Made from attractive crushed bamboo zebra wood, ceramics and durable metals, everything in Prue’s global cookware collection is practical enough for everyday use, and will work brilliantly for all of your own culinary adventures. Accented with a pop of vibrant red, they make fabulous gifts for creative cooks, too.

Comes with recipes for Double Cheese & Spring Onion Bites with Sour Cream Dip.
