Ingredients for a Fluffy Poffertje Party (Serves 4)
- 450ml Milk – The glue that holds our dreams together.
- 300g Flour – Regular ol’ flour, not the flower from your garden.
- 2 Eggs – Fresh, free-range, or just the ones hiding in your fridge.
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (or a sprinkle of yeast) – For that puff-power!
- Pinch of Salt – A lil’ salty sass to balance the sweetness.
- 1 Tbsp Sugar – Sweet enough to make your dentist nervous.
- Butter & Powdered Sugar – For dressing these beauties up.
Tools of the Trade
- Poffertjes Pan – It’s got tiny pancake craters; it’s adorable.
- Squeezy Bottle – The secret weapon for precision batter-dolloping.
How to Turn Ingredients Into Tiny Edible Clouds
- The Batter Battle:
Grab a bowl (preferably one that doesn’t have last night’s popcorn remnants in it). Toss in the milk, flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk it all together like you’re auditioning for a cooking show. The batter should be smooth, creamy, and totally irresistible—but resist licking it. (Okay, maybe one little taste.) - Heat It Up:
Butter up that Poffertjes pan like it’s a movie star on the red carpet. Warm it over medium heat until it’s ready to make magic happen. - The Squeeze Showdown:
Pour your batter into the squeezy bottle. (Yes, it feels like arts and crafts!) Gently pipe dollops of batter into each pan hole. Don’t overfill—remember, we’re going for poofy, not puddly. - Flip Like a Pro:
Let the poffertjes cook for 1–2 minutes, or until their undersides are golden brown and crispy like a sunrise in pancake form. Using a fork or your most delicate spatula, flip those babies like you’re flipping through your favorite TV show. Cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes. Try not to eat them straight out of the pan. (You’ll fail. It’s okay.) - Dress to Impress:
Pile your poffertjes onto a plate like you’re stacking happiness itself. Shower them with powdered sugar like it’s a winter wonderland. Add a pat of butter for extra decadence.
Enjoy the Tiny Pancake Party!
These little guys are best served warm and eaten with fingers, forks, or just a strong sense of determination. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or bribing your kids to clean their rooms.
Pro tip: Make extras. People will fight over these. And by “people,” I mean you. Happy flipping! 🥞
