Our pan is cast iron too. Let me know how it goes! Groetjes, Marieke Hi Kimberly,

I think your Ebelskiever (Danish right?) and our poffertjes are very close related, so I don’t so any reason why it shouldn’t work. Our pan is cast iron too. Let me know how it goes!

Groetjes,

My grandmother used to make us Ebelskievers when I was a child....could you use the same type pan. I do have a cast iron Ebelskiever pan....so I was wondering if this recipe might work in that. Thanks. What a fun recipe! My grandmother used to make us Ebelskievers when I was a child….could you use the same type pan.

These are even yummer then in Holland , I recon,as I found out when I went there last year. Unfortunately they won,t give out their recipe, I don't blame them. They are far superior to any others I've tasted, And I'm a bit of a connisseur....... The best Poffertjes are the original ones that we have had in Adelaide since the 1970’s

For anyone from Australia interested in purchasing the plates in Australia this is the site to go to http://www.poffertjesman.com/ ,they are located in Geelong ,although I puirchased mine from Melbourne in the city from a kitchen shop for $59 AUS ...it came with a 14 hole plate,2 skewers a squeeze bottle and a 1 kilogram pre mix ... You can also purchase the electric non stick unit for around $70 ,I just find the cast iron authentic style better myself ,anyway enough talk from me ...thanks again Thanks for the recipe ,I’m from Australia and just recently found a company that produces a range of plates that fit 14 up to 200 poffertjes at a time ,I have purchased the cast iron plate that holds a4 and have been making them for a few days now with the packet mix provided with the kit ,I was searching for an authentic recipe and came across yours ,many thanks as It would be pointless buying the pre – mix everytime I needed to make them .

I have been madly hunting down a pan and finally found one a couple of days ago. but the recipe I got was the one with the yeast and didn't taste like the ones at the markets much to my kids disgust! So can't wait to try this one. Thanks for that recipe.

Our home use plates are usually for 15 poffertjes in a batch. Pans for that you can check out a.o. at http://www.fantes.com/aebleskiver.htm#poffertjes and http://www.dutchpoffertjes.com.au/products.html I saw some professional equipment (for 50 poffertjes or more in one go) at this site: http://www.misterpop.nl/overige/overigeapp_en.htm Traditionally, the pans were made of copper, but now they are made of cast-iron or non stick material. Copper pans will be more of a second hand item I guess. Hope Mark can tell us were he found his. Marieke Hello Joe,

The really basic recipe is just a batter of flour, milk, eggs and some salt. The batter should be of a runny consistency. Although we like our recipe better with the added buckweat/syrop/vanilla the poffertjes will have more taste this way. We use a non-stick poffertjes pan, although old fashioned pans are either cast iron or indeed sometimes copper. Your copper pan seem to be a very fancy poffertjes pan! Good luck with deciding on making your copper pan dirty, Marieke Hi Mark,

In Holland you can buy this stuff almost everywhere but for all other cases there are internet sites that maybe can be of service. For instance: Hollandsbest.com and thedutchshop.com (they sell the one by Koopmans which is a very well know brand here in Holland. It's a light weight non stick version. Good luck and thanks for your comment, Marieke Hello Carol,
