Equipment

  • Poffertjes pan
  • Batter bottle
  • Poffertjes fork
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 350 ml milk
  • 250 g flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g butter
  • 1 tbsp syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Knob of butter
  • Powdered sugar

Traditional poffertjes

    1. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the eggs and milk and mix until smooth. Melt 50 g butter and stir it into the batter along with the syrup, then mix again.
    2. Put some of the batter into the batter bottle. Grease the poffertjes pan well with a pastry brush. Squeeze the batter into the wells and fill them just below the rim.
    3. Cook them for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Then turn them with a poffertjes fork. Also cook the other side until golden brown.
    4. Remove them from the pan with the fork and grease the pan again. Cook the next batch and repeat until the batter is used up.

Serve the poffertjes straight from the pan with a pat of butter and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. They taste best warm, so bring them to the table as soon as the last batch is ready.

Use a batter bottle to neatly and easily squeeze the batter into the wells of the poffertjes pan. This prevents mess and gives you nice, even poffertjes. A poffertjes fork makes turning them much easier.
