How to Make Poffertjes: Bite-Sized Dutch Pancake Recipe

[@tkdwar76]

I grew up in Melbourne, Australia with a Dutch Mother/Grandparents. As kids, my Opa would come and pick up my brother and I every weekend and take us for a treat somewhere. There was a local market where a Dutch lady had a Poffertjes stall. It was our absolute favourite. Dank je wel!

[@joegarcia54]

Never watched a Dutch cook video. Most entertaining 👍

[@sugaracid23]

They used to serve poffertjes with a dolllop of jam and a scoop of ice cream in wedding receptions in Indonesia in the 1990's - 2000's. Such a highlight of my childhood. It's kind of hard to find them these days, even harder to find the good ones. I guess i have to make them myself, thanks to this video.

[@lt.detachment5572]

I've been learning Dutch for a bit now and I'm so happy you put Dutch subtitles, it really helps with learning while cooking these

[@ToinesKitchen]

I’m so happy to read that! Glad you’re enjoying the videos

[@angusorvid8840]

Poffertjes are absolutely wonderful. It's hard to explain the flavor and texture. They are in concept sort of pancake-like, but very much their own thing. They are a joy.

[@cathymaylemmon8021]

LOVE these! Was introduced to them at a Christmas Market during the time I lived in northern Germany. Oh, the wonderful smells that just brought me to where they were being cooked! I remember so well savoring each bite of these, covered with the powdered sugar! Thank you for sharing this!

[@r3bores]

I've been meaning to make those ever since I came back from visiting the Netherlands. It was my favorite sweet from the trip, and your video came in at a perfect moment. I can't wait to try the recipe myself

[@Sara78881]

Dank je wel. Heb net voor het eerst een poffertjes pan gekocht. Ga dit recept gebuiken en lekker met mijn kids ervan genieten.

[@75Bigsistr]

Made these tonight with my son who absolutely loves all things Dutch! Easy to follow recipe and it worked beautifully (we did not have buckwheat flour so used only all purpose flour and they turned out great). The yeast batter was so satisfying. Will need more practice to get the flip down. Thanks for this great video and recipe!

[@yamunafernando458]

When I was in Netherlands used to eat . Very testy. Thank you for the video.

[@joel3659]

I used to live in the Netherlands many years, actually, is my second home, many dutch people love to eat The Poffertjes as a dinner, by the way dinner in Holland is around 5.30 pm. It is delicious at all!

[@sonja2421]

Ich bin als Deutsche mindestens 2-3 mal im Jahr in den Niederlanden und liebe Poffertjes. Auf der Suche nach einem originalen Rezept bin ich auf allerlei Unsinn gestoßen. Dieses Rezept ist wirklich super und deine Art, wie du es erklärst einfach klasse! Wenn ich sehe, dass Niederländer ein Rezept aus einer Fertig-Mischung mit Wasser hier einstellen, dann finde ich das echt traurig…. Weiter so, mein Abo hast du….

[@mariasianturi4590]

I just recook your recipe, and it is so good. No wonder in Indonesia, this dessert is really popular. Thankyou for the recipe, God bless you and your family ❤❤

[@ToinesKitchen]

I am so glad to hear you enjoyed or recipe!!

[@JoyAileen]

Absolutely loved this video, you seem so sweet and your passion in baking is inspiring! Thank you for sharing the joy in baking!

[@ToinesKitchen]

thank you so much!! and thank you for sharing the video with your fans!

[@astridrahardjo2390]

I'm so glad I found your video. I love poffertjes and it's really hard to get them in Indonesia. Poffertjes is normally served at weddings, though. But now I get to make them at home and enjoy them whenever I like. Thanks so much!

[@jiaxii]

I just ate them today at breakfast 👀 (they were from the grocery store that you just have to heat up to eat)

[@FreakinChocolate]

Your passion for baking warms my heart 💙

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thanks!!

[@VanAlphenStudio]

Nice video, the only one so far I've seen using 50% buckwheat flour. For most of 25 years I've been making them from store bought mixes with presumably only small amounts of buckwheat. This weekend I made it with 50% buckwheat flour as well for the first time but used sourdough for over night fermentation. A completely different taste to regular poffertjes without buckwheat, so much better! I think us Dutch people stopped using buckwheat because of the price and availability but I found a toko where it's cheap :)

[@42ayla]

Thanks so much for this recipe. A quick hint for your viewers, fondue forks work great for turning them.

[@kimtheidk]

the wonderful joy aileen send us here, so im thankful for that 💙 also I gotta love poffertjes hahaha

[@ToinesKitchen]

What’s not to love? ;)

[@LaLaLizzers]

Had some frozen from trader joes and wanted to learn how to make - this was the perfect video and so easy to follow!! Will be enjoying some homemade poffertjes with all your help!!! Thank you :)

[@pennie2387]

Joy Aileen sent me here because we both love sweet things, and the Poffertjes are great too. :)

[@ToinesKitchen]

As, shucks…. Thanks.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

My grandson absolutely loves an Australian cartoon called bluey. In it they have an episode where they go to the market and a gentleman is selling pofferjies. I have an ableskiver pan and I think I might have a go at making some for him. I do think the ableskiver has smaller divots/holes but the flavor should be there. Thank you for the beautiful recipe 😘

[@ToinesKitchen]

You'll be fine with an Æbleskiver pan. I think they are actually slightly deeper than a poffertjespan. But, it will work great! Let me know how they come out!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@ToinesKitchen I will, thank you so much.

[@GoddessCode]

Thank you! I love these with a squeeze of lemon too it really tastes amazing with either the sugar or honey drizzle. There used to be a cafe near me in Sydney that made these fresh daily and I became addicted - can’t find them anywhere else in cafes so making at home is super.

[@ToinesKitchen]

You’re welcome. Were you able to find a poffertjes pan in Sydney?

[@juliamarianne7106]

As you saw, the outer side bakes a little slower than the middle. This is why I start with the outer side, putting the batter to make my way to the centre. This way, they all get evenly baked. 😊 Moreover, they taste even more delicious when you bake them in butter in stead of oil!!

[@Mogfails]

Joy Aileen sent me here to spread love and sugar! We all enjoyed watching you make these yummy treats with such passion. Keep going, I love learning about my country neighbour's treats!

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thanks

[@tinekekindangen9857]

Definitely am going to try make this poffertjes, my grandmother always make poffertjes when I was growing up.

[@yasminetahir3970]

reminds me of kue cubit. by the way, can i subtitue buckwheat with other flour?? since its very hard to find it here. or can i use wheat flour instead??

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yes you can easily make that substitution

[@GabiAguirreOK]

Loved it!!❤

[@juliawenkmann8510]

Loved the Video especially the History part ♥️ will definitely cook them tomorrow!

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yay! Thank you! Let me know how they come out!

[@jimmyh9129]

Oh yeah .🎉 Thanks for the recipe. Akan saya coba 🎉

[@jimmyh9129]

I reduced the yeast, probably in my area the yeast is stronger. Turn out good 👍🎉

[@ellenclark5384]

thank you for this! very helpful. i LOVE poffertjes. one of my favourite memories was when i was teenager living in The Netherlands (i'm Australian) i rode my bike with my friends in the rain to the beach and sat in restaurant and had a lekker plate of poffertjes - magic pillows of comfort! do you think it's possible to make this ahead of time? maybe night before? or will this affect the yeast/rising?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thank you!! I have never done this, but if you store the batter in the fridge rather than at room temperature, it’ll slow down the productivity of the yeast. That might help you make the batter at night, and then cook it up in the morning. You’d have let it get to room temperature for 15-30 minutes first.

[@tammyshui]

You could lift the funnel slightly to let air out through so that the batter can flow through with ease :)

[@kellercrucita550]

I love poffertjes😋 And your stories too😃

[@ToinesKitchen]

Poffertjes are awesome…. And, thanks!

[@SY-ty1hg]

It's really hard to find a poffertjes pan where i live; would a takoyaki pan work? Would it be slightly undercooked in the middle if the hole is too deep?

[@ToinesKitchen]

You can definitely try it, but don't fill them all the way!

[@belkate3579]

Love the video!! Just curious, is there a specific temperature that you like the milk to be at for the yeast?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video, Annabel! For this recipe, I used room-temperature milk. When I proof yeast for bread, etc. I use 110F (44ºC)

[@fatmabatmaz2]

Came to bring joy :)

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thanks.

[@MxX-wh9to]

Lovely video! Just need some advice: my daughter has got the same cast iron pan for poffertjes. The problem what she encounters - these pancakes get stuck very quickly to the cast iron. Could it be the mix (We bought it from the Dutch food shop) or the baking temperature of the pan or maybe not enough oil? Any advice would be appreciated.

[@ToinesKitchen]

It's very important to properly season the cast-iron pan. This involves rubbing a VERY THIN layer of oil on the pan, and then backing it for an hour at a high temperature. Repeat this three times. The seasoning will help make it stick less. After that, don't wash it with soap, and make sure it's bone dry before putting it away. Of course, it could also be the temperature of the pan, but my first instinct will be that it's not seasoned enough.

[@MxX-wh9to]

@@ToinesKitchen Thank you! Yeah I though is as well. It is a brand new pan - will go through the process and will season it properly.

[@Kik-pv6yl]

This is look delicious😃

[@ToinesKitchen]

Thanks!!

[@feliciagaffney1998]

This is interesting. Thank you for a wonderfully simple video! I just ran across a poffertjes pan at a discount store. I got one. It is a little smaller than yours. Mine makes 15. Maybe it will heat better on the stove, being smaller. I had expected these to be an oven thing, not a stovetop cook. Can you heat the pan in the oven to start with?

[@ToinesKitchen]

I have never preheated the pan in the oven, but I guess you could. But, unlike steak, the pan doesn’t have to be red-hot.

Thanks for sharing. We make this with rice flour batter in India and its called kuzhiappam.

[@ToinesKitchen]

I’ll have to look that up!

[@peachyice3082]

Can using pancake mix suffice?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Depends, if the pancake mix has baking soda/powder, there may be too much leavening. I would not do that.

[@peachyice3082]

@@ToinesKitchen oh okay. I meant flavor wise, like is there a strong difference in taste if I were to use pancake mix instead?

[@croissantjeurk]

Leuke video, goed recept❤️

[@sebastianandersson8093]

Can you make the batter the day before and let it sit in the fridge before you make them?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Yes, you should be able to.

[@WNKS70]

I usually bought in a package at the supermarket whenever I am in Belgium, Bu put back home in bali, there’s a similar type of pancake made of rice flour and coconut milk, in a way is reminds me of apam India

do you have to have buckwheat flour?

[@ToinesKitchen]

No, you can use substitute the buckwheat flour with more AP flour.

[@florian2009]

hi! Sommige recepten gebruiken ook bakpoeder ipv gist en dan zonder te rijzen. Werkt dat ook, of is dat het toch net niet?

[@ToinesKitchen]

Ik vind persoonlijk dat de poffertjes betere structuur hebben met gist.

[@KnalsigaarFPV]

Nice Channel, subscribed! If the outer part of the pan does not get so hot as the inner you might want to start with the batter there to get a consistent cook 👍

[@ToinesKitchen]

Good tip! Thank you.

[@klontjespap]

poffertjes are amazing, but it's pretty involved, so the bagged pre-baked ones make sense, it's quite a hassle to make them but yeah, different league in quality/taste of of end product. but the pre-made ones are great if you add some cheese or spek

[@thepaulmacfarlane]

heel veel lekker

[@SoCalKT]

Similar to aebelskivers. Only difference is aebelskivers are cooked in round balls, harder to master. 2 pointed wood sticks are what I use. Great for filling inside tho. I like custard inside and chocolate outside, its like a filled donut hole.

[@ToinesKitchen]

Aebelskivers are delicious also, yeah!!!
