Whether you prefer them sweet or savory, there are endless possibilities for topping poffertjes, from classic butter and syrup to creative combinations like smoked salmon and avocado or bacon and cheese. With their unique texture and delightful flavor, Dutch poffertjes are sure to please everyone at your table.

DUTCH OLD-FASHIONED POFFERTJES (MADE WITH YEAST)
This recipe is an old Dutch recipe. It is originally in metric measures (see footnote for metric measures) that are converted here. To bake poffertjes, you need a special poffertjes pan. I have used a blinis' pan, others have used a Danish "aebleskiver"pan or a "donutfactory". Serve with butter and powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Combine yeast with 3 table spoons of luke warm milk in a bowl and allow to dissolve, about 5 minutes.
- Combine flour and buckwheat flour in a bowl. Add yeast mixture, remaining milk, and water; stir to combine. The batter has to be slightly thick. Stir in melted butter and egg. The batter needs to be luke warm. Cover bowl and set aside in a warm place to rise for about 30 minutes.
- Heat poffertjes pan and put some oil or butter in there to make sure the poffertjes don't stick to the pan. Put a little batter into each hole. When the top side of the poffertjes are almost dry, turn the poffertjes over to bake the other side. The poffertjes need to be light brown on each side.

An easy, no-yeast recipe for Dutch pancakes, which are called "poffertjes" in the Netherlands. They are traditionally made in a poffertjes pan which has indents, but you can use a large frying pan and scoop a small tablespoon of batter per poffertje into the pan. Serve the poffertjes warm with a knob of butter and powdered sugar.

POFFERTJES (DUTCH DOLLAR PANCAKES)
Poffertjes are a typically Dutch treat resembling very small, fluffy pancakes. They are a must-eat on national holidays, during summer festivals and other festivities in Holland. In the Christmas and New Year's Eve period, you can find poffertjes stalls on every Christmas market. Traditionally they are served with powdered sugar and hot melted butter.

Steps:
- Combine flour and baking powder. Mix in sugar and salt.
- Pour in milk, water. Combine with a balloon whisk. Add the eggs. Don't over stir anyway, and avoid from producing gluten inside the batter, just combine all ingredients.
- Heat up the dollar pancake pan. Pour about one tablespoon of batter into each hole. When bubbles appear, bottoms turn lightly brown, use a skew or needle to flip over and cook the other side. They should be cooked until both sides are golden brown. Transfer onto a serving plate, served with powdered sugar and butter.

AEBLESKIVER POFFERTJES
Danish-Dutch fusion cuisine. The recipe for the batter is typically Dutch (yeast raised) but the filling of jam is quite Danish. Try Cherry-Strawberry Preserves for the Bread Machine ABM (http://www.recipezaar.com/311376) for the filling. I use an aebleskiver pan, which has larger indentations than a poffertjes pan. The batter recipe is adapted from Let's Go Dutch by Johanna van der Zeijst Bates.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk. In a separate bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, flour, eggs, yeast, sugar, salt and half the milk. Whisk smooth. Now add the remaining milk and beat again. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest for an hour.
- Melt butter in a frying pan. When it sizzles, add teaspoonfuls of the batter in circular movements to create the mini pancakes. Turn the poffertjes around as soon as the bottom has set, using two forks.
- Serve Pancake Puffs with the best quality butter you can find and sieved powdered (icing) sugar.
Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned Dutch poffertjes pan or a regular frying pan with a non-stick coating.
- Heat the pan over medium-low heat and brush it with butter or oil before pouring the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan in small circles, leaving some space between each one.
- Cook the poffertjes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the poffertjes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
