Poffertjes

Happy Mardi Gras everyone!  Or Shrove Tuesday!  

We celebrate the season this year with a profusion of miniature Dutch pancakes called poffertjes.  We kindly received the requisite pan from my Tante Willy and Ome Ad on our last trip through Holland.  We stocked up on toppings, the traditional (butter and powdered sugar), the new age (Nutella) and the slightly Canadian (Aunt Jemima syrup).  

It took us a while to get the technique right, but we churned out and enjoyed several dozen really good poffertjes.
