These Dutch mini Pancakes Poffertjes are fluffy, soft  and insanely addictive. Traditionally these pancakes are made in a Poffertjes pan and yeast is used for the batter. Here, I have done neither of these. But sure enough, there has bee no compromise on taste and texture.   I have made these Dutch Mini Pancakes  in a paniyaram pan/appe pan. As these mini pancakes bloom and fluff up in the pan, so does my exhilaration. They taste best when devoured right away with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or with a drizzle of chocolate sauce, honey, maple syrup or vanilla sauce. Choice is all yours!!

Feeling rich! ... It is all about the smell of buttery cinnamon-speckled dainty mini pancakes clad with drizzles of sauces   and adorned with rich fruits. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup evaporated milk (I used Rainbow Evaporated Milk)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter + more for greasing the pan
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2.5 to 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
