Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Wet ingredients:; 1 cup sour cream (not low-fat please); 2/3 cup milk; 3 egg yolks, beaten; 2 tablespoons melted butter; extra melted butter to grease pan; Dry ingredients and egg white treatment:; 2 cups sifted flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon cardamom (about 8 pods cracked open & ground in a mortar & pestle); 3/4 teaspoon salt; 3 egg whites, beaten until rounded peaks form

Servings: persons

Wet ingredients:
1 cup sour cream (not low-fat please)
2/3 cup milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons melted butter
extra melted butter to grease pan
Dry ingredients and egg white treatment:
2 cups sifted flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cardamom (about 8 pods cracked open & ground in a mortar & pestle)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites, beaten until rounded peaks form

1
Put the ableskiver pan over medium heat and allow to preheat while batter is assembled.
2
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
3
Combine the sour cream, milk, egg yolks and melted butter.
4
Add all the liquid to the dry ingredients at once, stirring until blended.
5
Beat the 3 egg whites until rounded peaks form. Spread the batter over the beaten whites and fold together.
6
Grease the aebleskiver wells with butter (about 1/2 tsp. each). Fill wells about 1/2 full -- using toothpicks, turn when they develop one golden brown side and keep turning until done. They should be cooked over fairly low heat in order to cook through to the center.
7
If you want filled pancakes, place a smaller amount of batter in the well, put about a teaspoon of applesauce in the center then cover with ore batter so the applesauce is completely enrobed and the wells are about 1/2 full.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
