Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix both flours, the baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. Add the eggs and gradually pour in the milk while whisking to obtain a smooth, runny batter without lumps.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, then let the batter rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Heat a poffertjes pan (or a dimpled pan) and lightly grease each dimple with butter.
  5. Pour the batter into each dimple to about two-thirds full, then cook for 1 to 2 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
  6. Turn each poffertje with a skewer, cook for another minute, then serve hot dusted with icing sugar and a knob of butter.

Variations and tips

Maple version. Drizzle the poffertjes with maple syrup instead of icing sugar.
