Poffertjes are small, fluffy, Dutch-style pancakes that are traditionally served as a dessert or snack. They are made from a batter of flour, yeast, milk, and eggs, which is then spooned into small, shallow pans with circular wells. The pans are heated on a stove or griddle, and the batter is cooked until the poffertjes are puffed up and golden brown. Poffertjes are typically served with butter and powdered sugar, and sometimes with fruit or syrup. They are a popular food in the Netherlands, especially during the winter months, and can be found at fairs, festivals, and street markets. Poffertjes are often enjoyed with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee, making them a warm and comforting treat.
