They're pretty fatty, but they're much better than pancakes, and the name makes them fun. Kids love 'em!<BR/><BR/>Some have asked for a better description of what these things are like. The best description i can give is that they look like scones only flatter and more fried. Their texture is not dissimilar from a really light doughnut. I've also been asked to compare them to (American) biscuits, but since I've never had a biscuit of the American variety in my life, that's kind of hard. Though it might sound like it, they're not much like crumpets at all.<BR/><BR/>The name comes from their 'puffy' appearance, but it's still very silly. I have a sneaking suspicion she made the name up herself. She's just about crazy enough to try something like that. Let me know if your crazy relatives ever served you Pufftaloons.<BR/><BR/>Newsflash!<BR/><BR/>rp has advised me that in Dutch these things are called poffertjes, and that they are usually enjoyed with powdered sugar! Clearly my gran wasn't just making it up!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
