About us

Poffertjes are tiny pancakes, made on a copper plate /oven. It has a history that dates back to the 18th century, the times of Napoleon. His army went north, stole the wheat from the Dutch farmers. The Catholics had to find a substitution for baking host’s, they found buckwheat. That’s how it all started. Poffertjes are for Dutch people comparable with hamburgers for the Americans, fish and chips for the English. Every grandmother in the Netherlands is supposed to bake them when her grandchildren come to visit her.
