While “pancake” is the easiest translation for this dish, these are not your traditional breakfast treats. More like Dutch poffertjes, these small, round fritters are lightly sweetened and delightfully dense. Very similar to Jamaican Festival, they’re substantial and filling. Add a little mashed ripe banana and a dusting of ground cinnamon for a fruity variation.
