Poffertjes (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɔfərtɕəs] ) are traditional Dutch batter cakes. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour.[1][2] Typically, poffertjes are sweet treats served with powdered sugar and butter, and sometimes syrup or advocaat. A savoury variant with gouda cheese is also made.[3]
