Poffertjes, a Dutch delicacy ...
Poffertjes are a dough dish that nowadays is mainly eaten in the Netherlands. They are a kind of small pancakes, but thicker because they rise.
Traditionally a Dutch fairground tradition
Poffertjes are originally from France. At the time, Napoleon seized almost all of the flour to feed his army, creating a shortage of making hosts for the church. The poffertje was created by experimenting with a mixture of different types of flour.
They came to the Netherlands through peddlers and fairs.
