Poffertjes

Ingredients
200 g flour
40 g butter or margarine
350 ml milk
8 g yeast
1 pinch of salt
Heat the milk until lukewarm. Mix the salt with the flour and make a well in the middle. Mix the yeast with a little lukewarm milk and pour this into the well, together with 2/3 of the rest of the milk. Stir to a thick, smooth batter. Add the rest of the lukewarm milk (keep stirring!). Cover the batter with a dampened cloth and leave in a warm place (for instance on a radiator) for 1 hour. Grease a special poffertjes pan with butter. Fill each of the ‘wells’ of the pan with some of the batter and fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve the poffertjes hot with butter and caster sugar. I enjoy them with icing sugar, golden syrup and whipped cream.
