Preparation
Preparing the Poffertjes Batter
Sift dry ingredients
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Use a special poffertjes pan to achieve the perfect shape and texture.
Activate yeast
In a separate bowl, combine lukewarm milk and yeast; let it sit for 5 minutes.
Ensure the milk is not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
Combine wet and dry mixtures
Mix the beaten egg and vanilla extract into the yeast mixture. Then gradually whisk the liquid mixture into the flour until smooth.
Let batter rise
Cover and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Making the Maple Butter
Combine ingredients
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Chill the butter
Mix until creamy and well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Use high-quality butter for the maple spread for the best taste.
Cooking Process
Cook the Poffertjes
Heat the poffertjes pan over medium heat and grease with butter; fill each cavity halfway with batter.
Flip the Poffertjes
Once bubbles appear and edges are dry, flip each poffertje using a skewer. Cook until golden brown.
Cool and serve
Once all poffertjes are cooked, let them cool slightly before serving with maple butter.
