Prep Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 4 mins
Total: Preparation Time: 15 minutes (plus 30-45 minutes resting time) mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk (110°F or 45°C)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar for serving

Instruction:

  • Batter Bliss: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • Flour Fusion: Sift together the all-purpose flour and buckwheat flour. Gradually add this to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Egg Elation: Add the egg and salt to the batter, mixing well until you have a smooth, thick batter. Let the batter rest for 30-45 minutes, allowing the yeast to work its magic.
  • Poffertjes Preparation: Heat a poffertjes pan over medium heat and grease the indentations with a little butter. Pour the batter into the indentations, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Golden Goodness: Cook the poffertjes for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then flip them using a fork or skewer and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Sweet Serving: Serve the poffertjes hot, generously dusted with powdered sugar and a pat of butter on top.
