The best poffertjes in Amsterdam
Poffertjes are made with yeast, wheat, and buckwheat flour, giving them a light texture and subtle nutty flavor. They’re cooked in a special cast-iron pan with shallow indentations that help them keep their round shape and fluffy interior. Once one side is done, they’re flipped quickly with a fork. Making perfect poffertjes is a true art—and our chef has mastered it. That’s why we can confidently say: we serve the best poffertjes in Amsterdam!
Syrup, strawberries and shipped cream
Poffertjes are served warm, usually with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and a pat of melting butter. Sometimes they come with extras like syrup, strawberries or whipped cream.
No one knows exactly where poffertjes come from, but the first printed recipe appeared in the ‘Handbook for the Perfect Dutch Kitchen Maid’ in 1746. They’re considered a classic Dutch treat and they’re still a beloved street food and a staple at fairs and food trucks across the Netherlands.
