What kind of pan is needed for munker?

You need a munk pan (also called an aebleskiver pan) with hemispherical hollows, which gives the munker their characteristic round shape.

How do you get the munker round?

When the underside is golden, you gently turn each munk with a fork or stick so that the liquid batter runs down and cooks around into a ball.
