  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To make these fluffy honey butter poffertjes, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Poffertjes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Honey Butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries (optional)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Making the Poffertjes

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 30 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate and the batter to rise.
  2. Cook the Poffertjes:
    • Preheat a poffertjes pan (or a non-stick skillet if unavailable) over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.
    • Once the pan is hot, pour a tablespoon of batter into each cavity of the poffertjes pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then gently flip them over using a skewer or fork. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Making the Honey Butter

  1. Prepare the Honey Butter:
    • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Serving the Poffertjes

  1. Serve:
    • Transfer the cooked poffertjes to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared honey butter.
    • Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
