Dutch Po󰀨ertjes are baked in a special Dutch Pof- fertjes pan, a pan with indentations of a diameter of about 3 cm. Your Bestron Dutch Po󰀨ertjes Maker bakes delicious Dutch Po󰀨ertjes – and is ideal for use in every kitchen! Traditional Dutch Po󰀨ertjes Ingredients

• 125 g buckwheat our (You can also use ordinary our instead of buckw- heat our; however, you will then miss a little of the characteristic avour of Dutch Po󰀨ertjes!)

• approx. 250 ml water

• 15 g fresh yeast (1 sachet of dry yeast)

• salt (when using butter without salt) Preparation Dissolve the yeast in 3 tablespoons of lukewarm milk. Mix the our with the buckwheat our. Prepare a smooth batter from the our, yeast, milk and water (the batter should not run easily from the spoon, but may not be too thick; adjust the quantity of water as required). Stir the salt, molten butter and beaten egg through the batter. The batter should be lukewarm. Set the batter, covered with a moist tea towel, in a warm place (next to a radiator, in the sun, or in an oven at 50 °C) and allow it to rise for at least 30 minutes. Baking Heat the Dutch Po󰀨ertjes Maker, and grease the indentations with a little butter. Quickly pour a little batter into each indentation. This will be easiest when you use a squeezebottle with a reasonably- sized opening, a gravy spoon, or a jug. Turn the Dutch Po󰀨ertjes over using a fork or a shish kebab skewer once the top surface becomes dry. The Dutch Po󰀨ertjes should be baked golden-brown on both sides. Put the Dutch Po󰀨ertjes on a plate, and repeat for the other Dutch Po󰀨ertjes. Dutch Pof- fertjes are eaten whilst they are hot, with a curl of butter and covered by a thick layer of castor sugar (plus a few drops of liqueur for really mouth-wate- ring Dutch Po󰀨ertjes).
