Poffertjes

Netherlands · Europe

Short description
Poffertjes are small, airy pancakes cooked in a dimpled pan and usually served with butter and powdered sugar.
Ingredients
Small yeasted pancakes made with wheat and buckwheat flour, milk, eggs, butter, and powdered sugar.
Cultural note
Their charm is scale and texture: bite-sized, browned outside, soft inside, and usually eaten hot from a market stall or cafe plate.
Common misconception
They are not just tiny flat pancakes; the yeasted batter gives them a puffier, softer bite.
