Dutch pancakes…
Whenever we go to the Queenscliff Market the first thing out of the little guy’s mouth is “I see the Poffertjes” & all three kids head straight for the dutch pancake van. They hoover their plates of dutchies in about 2 seconds – it’s become a tradition.
You know how much I love to encourage a tradition (especially one that involves family bonding). I recently purchased a dutch pancake plate & we have been making these & enjoying them soaked in maple syrup.
Dutch Pancakes
1 1/2 cups plain flour
pinch of salt
2 tsp caster sugar
350ml milk
8g sachet of dried yeast
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sift flour into a bowl. Stir in the salt & the sugar & make a well in the centre. Heat milk until lukewarm & then mix the yeast with 80mls of the warmed milk. Leave to stand for about 10 minutes (until frothy).
Pour yeast, remaining milk & egg into the well & stir with a whisk to form a smooth batter.
Cover with a damp cloth & leave to stand in a warm spot for about 1 hour.

I bought a little dutch pancake maker from Kmart at the beginning of October and just can.not.stop.making.pancakes. They are just so moreish! I put the pancake mixture into a big squeezy bottle (like they have at the markets) and we get a couple of days out of our mixture (though I do only have the one child!) And yes, you have just got to encourage a tradition.
