Poffertjes

Poffertjes are a traditional Duch fluffy pancakes that are light, spongey and delicious. It took me a while to buy a special pan to fry them, but the finall effect was more than good. I must say that I’m greatful for Ania to be around for a weekend, otherwise I’d eat them all by myself. 

You will need:

• 250g flour
• 1 egg
• 250ml milk
• 250ml water
• 15g fresh yeast or 1 sachet of dry ones
• 50g salty butter, melted
• pinch of salt

Dissolve the yeast in 3 tablespoons of warm milk. In a bowl mix the flour, yeast, milk and water, until you reach a pouring batter (it shouldn’t be too watery). Stir in the melted butter, salt and beaten egg, then cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 30 minuts.

If you have a special frying pan for Poffertjes, pour about 1 tablespoon of dough into each recess, wait until the dough starts to bubble and switch it on the other side with the usage of a toothpick. Fry until golden brown. On an ordinary frying pan make a very small pancakes out of 1 tablespoon of dough each.

Serve with an icing sugar, butter and strawberries.

Enjoy, Marta
