Name: Ableskiver (Pancake Balls)

Category: Cake

Ingredients and Directions

2 cups flour, sifted

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cardamom

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sour cream

2/3 cup milk

3 large egg yolks, beaten

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Set an ableskiver pan over low heat. Sift together and set aside: Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Add liquid mixture all at one time, stirring until well blended. Beat until rounded peaks are formed: 3 egg whites. Gently spread batter over egg whites and fold together. Test ableskiver pan by dropping on it a few drops of cold water; if drops dance around in small beads, temperature is right. Grease well with butter (About 1/2 tsp. per well). Pour batter into wells, filling about one half full. With a fork turn ableskivers frequently to brown evenly. Do not pierce. Ableskivers are done when a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve immediately sprinkled with powdered sugar. If desired, accompany with a tart jam. About 4 dozen balls. Apple Pancake Balls (Ableskiver II) Follow above recipe. Rinse, pare and dice 2 medium-sized apples. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the diced apples over batter in each well.
