Details
Poffertjes are small, fluffy Dutch mini pancakes that are light and have a fluffy texture .For this recipe we will not use the dimpled pan made for poffertjes but you can still make them using a normal frying pan. —they’ll just be a bit less perfectly round, but just as tasty!

Ingredients
100 grams of Flour
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
1 tablespoon of Sugar
1 pinch of Salt
1 Egg
200 millilitres of Milk
Butter (This is for cooking)
Method
1
Make the batter: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the egg and half the milk, whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the milk and mix until you get a slightly thick, pourable batter.
2
(Optional) Let it rest: Let the batter sit for 20–30 minutes for fluffier poffertjes.
3
Heat the pan: Use a normal non-stick frying pan. Add a little butter and keep heat on medium-low.
4
Shape the poffertjes: Use a teaspoon or squeeze bottle to drop small circles of batter into the pan.
5
Cook: Cook for about 1–2 minutes until bubbles form. Flip them with a fork or toothpick. Cook another 1 minute until golden.
6
Serve: Serve warm with: Powdered sugar Butter Syrup or Nutella
Notes
- You should be making about 25–35 mini poffertjes (depending on how small or big you make them). - Keep them small to get that classic poffertjes feel. - Use low heat so they cook through without burning. - A squeeze bottle or piping bag makes perfect little shapes. - If they spread too much → batter is too thin (add a bit of flour). - If they’re too thick add a splash of milk.
