"Poffertjes are a typically Dutch treat resembling very small, fluffy pancakes. They are a must-eat on national holidays, during summer festivals and other festivities in Holland. In the Christmas and New Year’s Eve period, you can find poffertjes stalls on every Christmas market. Traditionally they are served with powdered sugar and hot melted butter."

ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar
1 ¹⁄₄ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup milk
¹⁄₄ cup water
2 eggs, whisked
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
oil, for brushing the pan
¹⁄₂ cup powdered sugar (optional as a topping)
¹⁄₄ cup butter (optional as a topping)

directions

Combine flour and baking powder. Mix in sugar and salt.
Pour in milk, water. Combine with a balloon whisk. Add the eggs. Don’t over stir anyway, and avoid from producing gluten inside the batter, just combine all ingredients.
Heat up the dollar pancake pan. Pour about one tablespoon of batter into each hole. When bubbles appear, bottoms turn lightly brown, use a skew or needle to flip over and cook the other side. They should be cooked until both sides are golden brown. Transfer onto a serving plate, served with powdered sugar and butter.
