Gluten Free Poffertjes (Dutch Mini Pancakes)


I first had poffertjes in a pancake house in London and they were one of the best things I've ever eaten. Despite making them gluten free and not having the proper pan for them, everyone ,including the gluten-eaters, loved them.
If you do have the pan then definitely use it but I had no trouble using a normal frying pan.

Ingredients: 


  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 100g buckwheat flour
  • 100g flour (I used a mixture of potato, corn, tapioca and quinoa) 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 250ml warm milk
  • oil or butter

Method:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the tbsp of milk.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flours, eggs, salt, sugar and the milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and leave for an hour.
  • Heat a frying pan and add a small amount of oil or butter. Use a small spoon to spoon the batter into the frying pan in small circles.

  • Turn each pancake as soon as the bottom has set.
  • Serve hot with your choice of topping (icing sugar, maple syrup, chocolate spread...)
