Makes about 48 small pancakes

Ingredients:

2 tbsp warm milk, plus extra 1 1/2 tbsp

1 1/2 tsp dry yeast

2 eggs, lightly beaten

⅓ cup buckwheat flour

1 cup plain flour

2 tbsp caster sugar

1/4 tsp fine salt

250g mascarpone

2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted, plus extra, to dust

Melted butter, to grease

 

Mixed Berry Jam (makes 2½ cups)

250g strawberries, hulled, cut into quarters

125g raspberries

125g blueberries

1 1/2 cups caster sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice

Method:

Place warm milk in a small bowl, sprinkle over yeast and whisk to dissolve. Set aside for 10 minutes or until beginning to foam. Stir in extra milk and beaten eggs. Set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together flours, then stir in sugar and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in milk mixture, whisking until well combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot for 1 hour or until mixture becomes foamy. Pour into a jug.

To make mixed berry jam, place berries in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice and stir to combine. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes. Set over a medium-low heat and stir for 3-4 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until jam thickens slightly (it will set as it cools). Set aside.

Whisk mascarpone and icing sugar. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill until ready to use.

Grease a poffertjes pan and heat over a medium heat. Pour 1 tablespoon of batter into each hole. Alternatively, use a greased frying pan, pouring in small portions of batter to make rounds. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until puffed. Using 2 forks, turn over pancakes and cook for a further minute. Repeat with remaining batter.

Dust poffertjes with extra icing sugar. Serve with dollops of mascarpone cream and jam.
