They're on sale, "final reduction" or something like that at the Deerfoot Meadows Superstore, for $8, really solid, seasoned, cast iron pans. Now to contact my brothers' Danish former mother-in-law (first wife, now on number three) for a recipe with venom!

re: Scary Bill
Thanks, Mr. Bill for the information. I hightailed to Deerfoot Meadows to pick up one pan, made some sweet aebelskivers (orange and ginger jam filled) then followed by savoury ones (shrimp filled) and liked it so much, I went hunting at the Stuporstore on McLeod and Southland and found another one to add to my collection. It still cost less than 20$ for two pans which is waaay less than what they were asking at Wholesale Sports for a single pan.
So, will attempt all kinds of variations of this.
Am going to try and make banh kot with a rice flour and coconut milk based batter (and shrimp) and also try for paniyaram with rice and semolina and lentils.
Yup, I will get much use out of these pans until I get bored of making them.

found mine (Nordicware) on clearance at HomeOutfitters, Royal Oak, Calgary for $9.00 early this year : ) I was so pleased with the purchase I scouted for another one for an aunt and found it (still on clearance) at HomeOutfitters, Northland Mall. My main purpose in getting it was really for takoyaki not ebelskivers.

There are no Target stores in Calgary (yet). We have Zellers stores (similar but not as good) but they don't carry these pans.

This store (in Edmonton) carries them. You can order on line. Cheap too.

I married into a Danish family so this was a "must have" item for me. I saw them at Williams Sonoma but there was no way I was going to pay $80 for a pan I'll use once or twice a year. Instead, I found a cast iron pan at Camper's Village (in Calgary)... for under $30! Highly recommended.
I did end up buying the Aebleskiver cookbook from Williams Sonoma though. It was only $20 :)

I had no problems with it. I have coils on my stovetop so I can't say if it would work on a ceramic stove top. Also, I have to watch them carefully because the indent in the middle seems to cook a bit faster than the sides. For a ~$50 savings on the pan (Camper's Village vs. Williams Sonoma price), it was definitely worth it.

The pan was at least $70 Canadian because I remember thinking about ridiculous the price was! I'll check it again next time I go to Chinook.

Williams Sonoma sells cast aluminum aebelskiver pans, and it looks like there is at least one store in both Calgary and Toronto. We've always had cast iron in my family, but my sister recently received the WS one as a gift and has been pretty happy with it.
I imagine there are quite a few places that you can buy them online. Lodge makes a cast iron version that is a couple of dollars cheaper than the WS one.

It might be expensive to ship it to Canada, but my aebleskiver pan is a cast iron one from a store in Solvang, CA, and they do sell them online. The address is aebleskiver.com, and the website also has a great video showing how to make them. Mine is the 'original style' #5 and I have been very happy with it.
