While in Santa Barbara, we took a day trip to a Dutch town called Solvang. The town reminded me of Leavenworth Washington. It was basically a touristy town with Dutch architecture and shops that sold things like nutcrackers, collectibles, and Christmas decorations. There were also several bakeries, Belgian waffle houses, and fudge shops.

We went to a pancake house that featured several crepes on their menu, so Fernando got an apple crepe and I got a crepe suzette filled with cheese. For some strange reason they topped mine off with about a cup of sour cream and didn’t taste so well, but Fernando’s was pretty good.

Ebelskivers

Right after leaving the pancake house, I noticed a sign for a place that sold Ebelskiver. I first stumbled upon Ebelskiver when online shopping at Williams Sonoma. They are pancake balls which sometimes have a filling inside of them.  Ours were topped with lingonberry sauce.
