Poffertjes
Poffertjes are one of the most well-known sweets in Dutch cuisine, prepared for centuries, especially at festive fairs and markets. The batter for these tiny, round pancakes is made with yeast, making them extra soft and light. Traditionally, they are baked in a special pan, which ensures a uniform shape and perfect texture. Poffertjes are usually served with powdered sugar and melted butter, but are also often offered with fresh fruit or chocolate sauce. A quick to prepare, yet special dessert that is an iconic part of Dutch street food.
