Poffertjes Easy Dutch Mini Pancake Recipe
During the summer holidays, my children harassed me to prepare poffertjes for them. And since I was making them anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to share this fun and super simple recipe with you.

Mini Dutch pancakes

These fluffy little pancakes are delicious when served with a knob of butter and a pinch of icing sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 cup plain all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons warm milk
• 1 beaten egg
• 3.5 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• icing sugar for serving
• Butter for serving

Instructions

1. In a small cup, mix the dried active yeast with a little hot milk and set aside.
2. Take a large bowl and sift together plain flour and buckwheat flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture, the egg and the rest of the warm milk.
3. Whisk the ingredients until you get a smooth paste without lumps.
4. Cover the mixture with a clean cloth and set aside in a warm place for about an hour and let the mixture rise.
5. Use melted butter to grease the poffertjes pan (or the hotplate / pan) and let it heat over medium heat.
6. Once the pan is hot enough, fill each notch with the dough.
7. Let the dough cook until it boils and one side has turned brown, then turn them over and let them brown on the other side (if they stick, wait a few more moments).
8. Transfer to a plate and serve with a small piece of butter and icing sugar.

Remarks

* Tips * You will have to work very quickly, so it is best to start with a few at the beginning to understand the cooking time and perfect your turning technique. Make sure to re-grease the pan before each cycle of poffertjes.
