Aebleskiver (Danish Ball Pancakes)

Beat egg whites until stiff; set aside. Beat rest of ingredients until batter is very smooth. Fold in egg whites. Heat well-seasoned monk's pan (see tip below) with 1/8 teaspoon oil or lard in each of the 7 holes. Fill each hole with batter. When browned on one side (almost right away), turn with knitting needle and keep turning until needle comes out lean after piercing through the cake. Serve with flavored butters, such as maple or cinnamon honey, syrup, jam and brown or white sugar.

Tips: You can purchase a cast iron monk's pan at Scandinavia gift shops or at small town hardware stores in Danish communities. As for servings, plan on each person eating 7-10 cakes.
