Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Add liquid mixture all at one time, stirring until well blended.

4

Beat until rounded peaks are formed: 3 egg whites. Gently spread batter over egg whites and fold together.

5

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.
