You need the sort of toaster that has the scalloped depressions and
cuts/seals the sandwiches. Otherwise it won't work.
If that's what you have, poffertjes are a small puffed cake. Usually
made in a special pan but the scalloped bed sandwich toaster works fine.
Probably any waffle or pancake batter will work.

Poffertjes

500g flour (white or wholewheat)
1 egg beaten
50 g cane syrup (corn syrup should work)
1/2 tsp salt
50 g yeast
3/4 to 1 litre warm water

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Warm the syrup with a little water.
Add the yeast and mix until smooth. Pour the yeast mix into a well made
in the flour.
Put about half the water into the flour and mix well. Add the egg and
enough of the rest of the water to make a thick pancake batter.
Let the mixture rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Grease the heated poffertjes
pan (or sandwich toaster) with melted butter and add a small amount of
batter. When the poffertjes are brown on one side, flip them over and
cook the other side. (In the sandwich toaster both sides will cook at
the same time.)
Serve with a little butter and a lot of icing/confectioner's sugar on
top.
Eet smakelijk!
