Ingredients Serving: 6

400 ml milk
3 tsp fresh yeast or 1 1/2 tsp dried yeast
200 gms whole wheat flour or white flour
100 gms buckwheat flour or white flour
A pinch of salt
1 egg

Instructions

Crumble the yeast and place in a bowl. Warm the milk, make sure it is only lukewarm. Add in the yeast and mix and completely dissolve. Set aside.
If you do not have a poffertjes pan, increase the milk by 350 ml, you should get a flowing batter just like any pancake batter.
In another bowl, beat the flours if using different kinds, salt, egg and the remaining warm milk. Whisk it to a smooth batter, make sure that no lumps remain.
Place a towel over the bowl and place in a warm place for an hour for the batter to rise. It should look bubbly and have increased in quantity.
Using a whisk, stir well to combine and fry small pancakes with 1-2 tablespoons of the batter only.
Heat a non stick frying pan, add some butter and pour 1 to 2 tbsp of the batter. After a few minutes, gently loosen them and flip over, when the underside is golden.
Enjoy them with some icing sugar over the top or some maple syrup.
