Step-by-Step Instructions for Dutch Pancakes
  1. Warm 1 ½ cups of milk between 90-100°F. Stir in 2 teaspoons of SAF instant yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Add 1 beaten egg and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the batter rise for at least 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Heat your poffertjes pan over medium heat and grease each divot generously with butter.
  6. Fill each divot halfway with the batter and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges brown.
  7. Flip each poffertje over carefully using a chopstick or skewer and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately while warm, dusted with powdered sugar or with your favorite toppings.
