Can you make poffertjes without a poffertjes pan?
Theoretically you can bake them in a pan, the taste will be no less. Of course, they will not have the usual shape of poffertjes and that is part of the taste experience if you ask me.
Poffertjes are very famous in the Netherlands and are also called Dutch mini pancakes. I have the perfect poffertjes recipe for you to make at home. You probably already have the ingredients, so you can get started right away.
Dutch poffertjes
I don’t eat them often, but how I love them. I’m talking about poffertjes, of course. Delicious with a little powdered sugar and a little butter, just as they should be.
My mom used to bake poffertjes for us to eat during school vacations. I recently bought a cast-iron poffertjes pan so that I could make them at home, and so today I am sharing the basic recipe for poffertjes with you!

What is the best poffertjes pan?
Personally, I have a cast-iron poffertjes pan at home that I find the easiest to work with. I use a chunk of butter, prick it with a fork, and use it to grease the pan each time I bake. You can also use a brush and melted butter, but make sure the brush can withstand the heat. I made a mistake about that once 😉 .
There are also electric pans, the advantage of which is that they already have a non-stick coating. You also don’t have to work as fast as you would with a cast iron pan.
Both are good options, it really just depends on where your personal preference lies.
