Poffertjes (Dutch Mini-Pancakes)
Anyone knows what “poffertjes” are? These traditional dutch mini-pancakes are usually eaten with icing sugar and syrup, especially during holidays such as Christmas. You can also add berries and whipped cream on top! Ideally you would use a poffertjes pan, however I just baked mine on a pan and they still ended up spongy and light. The secret is to just put a tiny bit of batter at a time, to keep the poffertjes small, as they will rise and expand a bit. It’s a nice recipe that will be a good adding to a week-end brunch table.
