Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Buckwheat flour
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Oil or melted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast.
Step 2
Warm the milk slightly until lukewarm (around 37°C or 98°F). Gradually add it to the dry ingredients while mixing to form a smooth batter.
Step 3
Beat the egg lightly in a separate small bowl, then stir it into the batter until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the salt to the batter and mix well. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rest and rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
Step 5
After the batter has risen, heat a poffertjes pan or a regular skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the cavities of the pan with oil or melted butter using a brush or paper towel.
Step 6
Spoon the batter into the poffertjes pan cavities, filling them about three-quarters full. If using a regular skillet, drop small dollops of batter to form tiny pancakes.
Step 7
Cook the poffertjes for about 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the edges start to set. Flip them using a skewer or fork and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Step 9
Serve the warm poffertjes on a plate with a pat of butter on top and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately!
