Technical Specifications

OPERATION – General information

The below description goes with the image on page 2.

1. Housing
2. Baking plate
3. Handle
4. On/Off switch with indicator light (red)
5. Power cord and plug
6. Ready-to-use light (green)

OPERATION – Before first use

Clean the baking plate before using the appliance for the first time (see `Cleaning and maintenance’). The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is normal, and will soon stop. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation. During use the heating element will switch on and off to keep the temperature of the baking plate constant. The green ready-touse light will also turn on and off. This does not indicate a defect.

ATTENTION: Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use. Fumes released from the nonstick coating are harmful to birds.

OPERATION – Baking Dutch Poffertjes

1. Grease the baking plate with a little oil or butter.
2. Put the plug into the wall socket.
3. Switch on the appliance by pressing the On/Off switch. The red and green indicator lights will illuminate.
4. Wait until the heating plate has heated up sufficiently and the green ready-to-use light has extinguished. The heating element will keep the baking plate at the correct temperature.
5. Pour the Dutch Poffertjes batter into the indentations in the baking plate. Pour quickly; this will be easiest when you use a squeeze-bottle, gravy spoon, or jug.
6. Carefully turn the Dutch Poffertjes over using a fork or a shish kebab skewer once the top surface becomes dry. The Dutch Poffertjes are ready once both sides turn golden-brown. The baking time will range between about 3 and 5 minutes, depending on the type of batter and your personal preference, etc.
7. Remove the Dutch Poffertjes from the baking plate using a fork or shish kebab skewer and serve on a plate.
8. Once you have finished baking switch off the baking plate with the On/Off switch.
9. Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the appliance to cool.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the appliance to cool down completely.
2. Clean the baking plate after each use. Use a damp cloth to clean the plate, and dry it thoroughly.
3. Clean the housing with a damp cloth, if necessary with an additional couple of drops of washing-up liquid. Remove the washing-up solution from the appliance with a damp cloth, and then dry thoroughly.
4. Wrap the power cord around the lugs on the base of the housing, and store the appliance.

ATTENTION:

• Never use metal implements or scourers to clean the baking plate. Be careful when using metal objects to turn the Dutch Poffertjes or remove them from the baking plate; these could damage the non-stick coating on the baking plate.
• Never immerse the appliance, plug or power cord in water. Never put the appliance in a dishwasher.
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

TRADITIONAL DUTCH POFFERTJES

Ingredients

• 125 g flour

• 125 g buckwheat flour
  (You can also use ordinary flour instead of buckwheat flour; however, you will then miss a little of the characteristic flavour of Dutch Poffertjes!)

• 1 egg

• 250 ml milk

• approx. 250 ml water

• 15 g fresh yeast (1 sachet of dry yeast)

• 50 g molten butter

• salt (when using butter without salt)

Preparation
Dissolve the yeast in 3 tablespoons of lukewarm milk. Mix the flour with the buckwheat flour. Prepare a smooth batter from the flour, yeast, milk and water (the batter should not run easily from the spoon, but may not be too thick; adjust the quantity of water as required). Stir the salt, molten butter and beaten egg through the batter. The batter should be lukewarm. Set the batter, covered with a moist tea towel, in a warm place (next to a radiator, in the sun, or in an oven at 50 °C) and allow it to rise for at least 30 minutes.
