Directions

1. Step

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand for 5 minutes to allow it to activate.

2. Step

In a separate larger bowl, combine the flour and salt.

3. Step

Beat the egg into the milk and then pour this into the flour mixture. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the bowl and mix until it forms a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.

4. Step

Preheat your Poffertjes pan over medium heat and brush each dimple with melted butter.

5. Step

Fill each dimple of the preheated Poffertje pan to the top with batter. Allow the Poffertjes to cook until bubbles appear on the surface, around 3 minutes.

6. Step

Flip each mini pancake using a skewer or fork and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.

7. Step

Remove the Poffertjes from the pan and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

8. Step

Serve your Dutch mini pancakes warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

9. Step

Enjoy your homemade Poffertjes as a sweet breakfast or snack.
