Poffertjes
Today there is a great recipe on the menu. If you’ve ever been to the Netherlands, especially in the big cities like Amsterdam, you’ve probably come across a shop that sells this. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany it is mainly eaten as dinner, but can also be a dessert.
There are actually two ways to make the poffertjes. You can use yeast and baking powder to make them rise. If you don’t have baking powder at home now, but do have dried yeast, you can use the same amount as shared in the recipe below. It is important that you ensure that the milk is slightly warmer. This helps with the rising process. Then let the bowl stand for 70 to 80 minutes.
There are many options how to eat this dish. The original recipe is to put a slice of butter on the top of the poffertjes and then sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also choose to add whipped cream with chocolate sauce. Whatever you like best!
