Ableskiver (pancake balls)

2 c  Sifted flour
      2 tb Sugar
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Cardamom
    3/4 ts Salt
           Combine:
      1 c  Thick sour cream
    2/3 c  Milk
      3    Egg yolks, beaten
      2 tb Melted butter
 
  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 Confectioners' sugar.  If desired, accompany
  with a tart jam.  About 4 doz. balls.
