Poffertjes (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

Every time I come across my favorite local foods, well, sweets I get a bit nostalgic and I just have to have them. No different this time around. Poffertjes, loosely translated as little puffs, are tiny pancakes which you pair with icing sugar, butter and preferably a splash of liqueur (I chose one creatively called ‘brides tears’, a liqueur with aniseed and orange zest). You can find poffertjes at fancy fairs, festivals and basically any outdoor event in summer and winter. Yum!

Here a few bites to get a taste of what ‘home’ is to me. Let’s start and finish with lots of mini pancake goodness.
