Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg. Add in the milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and mix well.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Preheat your poffertjes pan or a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan with some extra butter.
- Fill each indentation of the pan halfway with batter.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set and bubbles appear on the surface.
- Using a skewer or a small fork, carefully flip each poffertje and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked poffertjes to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the poffertjes warm, dusted generously with powdered sugar and topped with a small pat of butter. Enjoy!
Tips
- If you don't have a poffertjes pan, you can also use a mini muffin tin or a small non-stick skillet. Just adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a festive touch, consider serving poffertjes with a drizzle of chocolate or strawberry sauce, or top them with fresh fruits.
