Instructions

  1. Mix the all-purpose wheat and buckwheat flours and sift them over the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Dig a well in the center of the flour and pour in the melted butter.
  3. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the dough.
  4. Add the egg.
  5. Pour in most of the milk and mix the batter until obtaining a fairly thick batter.
  6. Add milk if necessary.
  7. Add sugar and salt and mix again.
  8. Place a warm damp towel on the pan and let stand at room temperature, away from drafts, for 1 hour.
  9. Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle.
  10. Place the poffertjes pan on low heat, add a knob of butter in the center of the pan and spread, using a kitchen brush or paper towel. Spread the melted butter in all the holes of the pan.
  11. Fill each dimple with the batter, three-quarters full.
  12. Using 2 skewers (or a skewer and a fork), turn the poffertjes over while the batter is still a little wet on top.
  13. Cook them on both sides until golden brown.
  14. Serve with a little butter and sprinkle the poffertjes with powdered sugar or sugar.
