What characteristic batter ingredient is often used in Poffertjes, resulting in fluffy pancakes?
Answer
Yeasted batter (often including buckwheat flour).
Poffertjes are distinct from standard pancakes (*pannenkoeken*) because they are fluffy, bite-sized spheres. This texture is achieved through the use of a yeasted batter, which causes them to puff up perfectly when cooked in their specialized, dimpled pans. Furthermore, this batter often includes buckwheat flour as an ingredient, contributing to their unique consistency and flavor profile when served traditionally with powdered sugar and butter.
