Begin by gently heating the milk until it reaches 90-100°F. This temperature is ideal for activating the yeast, ensuring your Poffertjes will be wonderfully fluffy.

Sprinkle the SAF Instant Yeast into the warm milk, stirring gently. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is working its magic.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. This combination will form the delicious base of your batter.

Pour the yeast-milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and crack in the egg. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

Cover your bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the batter to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You’re looking for it to be fluffy and puffy.

Grease your cast iron skillet or poffertjes pan generously with butter or coconut oil. Preheat it over medium heat until it’s nice and hot.

Fill each divot of your skillet halfway with batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, waiting for little bubbles to appear on the surface before flipping them with a skewer.

After flipping, cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are beautifully browned and cooked through. Repeat until your batter is all used up.
