Ingredients (Makes about 30 Poffertjes)

• All-purpose flour – 1 cup
• Buckwheat flour – ¼ cup (optional, for traditional flavor)
• Milk – 1 cup (warm)
• Egg – 1 large
• Dry yeast – 1 teaspoon
• Sugar – 1 tablespoon
• Salt – ¼ teaspoon
• Butter – For greasing the pan
• Powdered sugar – For serving
• Butter – For topping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour (if using), and salt.
3. Add the yeast mixture and egg to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
4. Cover the batter with a clean towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes to rise slightly.

Step 2: Heat the Poffertjes Pan

1. Heat a poffertjes pan over medium heat and lightly grease each cavity with butter.

Step 3: Cook the Poffertjes

1. Pour or spoon a small amount of batter into each cavity of the pan, filling them about ¾ full.
2. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
3. Using a skewer or fork, flip each poffertje and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden.
4. Transfer the cooked poffertjes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serving Suggestions

Poffertjes are traditionally served warm with:
