The Origins of Poffertjes

Poffertjes have a fascinating history that dates back to the 18th century in the Netherlands. These delightful mini pancakes are unique; soft and fluffy on the inside with a lightly crisp edge. Traditionally, they are served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a pat of butter, which melts to create a warm, rich sensation in every bite.

What makes poffertjes special is not only their origins but also the experience of enjoying them in a historical setting. At Bruthren's Medieval Market, savoring these treats becomes more than just a taste; it's a celebration of culture and history that makes each bite memorable.
