Directions
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 ½ teaspoon 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.
