Dutch Mini Pancakes (poffertjes)

We've did some research on the web, and found out that 1) there is no real translation for "poffertjespan" and 2) it's something so typically dutch, it's not being sold everywhere in the world. You can make these dutch mini pancakes without an actual poffertjespan, but they probably won't look as good as in the picture.

They are still very tasty though! you can buy a poffertjespan from stores like amazon, to get the authentic result: 

Preparation -- 10 minutes + waiting time

Heat the milk until it's a little bit warmer than lukewarm. Remove from the heat and mix in the sugar and yeast. Wait until the mixture becomes foamy, this will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Come the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a regular mixing bowl. Slowly add the yeast mixture and egg and whisk until you've reached a smooth batter.

Cover the bowl with a clean damp kitchen towel and let it rest for about an hour. Or until the volume has doubled.  

Making the Dutch mini pancakes -- 10 minutes

Pour the batter into a disposable piping bag without a nozzle. Heat your 'poffertjespan' on medium heat and brush some butter into the pan. As soon as the butter is hot, pipe the batter into the pan.

Be careful not to use too much batter per pancake. Flip the 'poffertjes' after about one minute, or until golden brown. Serve them hot with some butter and powdered sugar.
