    2       c            Sifted flour
    2       tb           Sugar
    1       t            Baking soda
    1       t            Cardamom
      3/4   ts           Salt
                         Combine:
    1       c            Thick sour cream
      2/3   c            Milk
    3                    Egg yolks, beaten

   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.
