To eat poffertjes and wafelen is no light matter: one must regard it as a ritual.
Poffertjes come first--these are little round pancakey blobs, twisted and covered with butter and sugar.

Then the wafelen, which are oblong wafers stamped in a mould and also buttered and sugared.

You eat twenty-four poffertjes and two wafelen: that is, at the first onset.

Afterwards, as many more as you wish.

Lager beer is drunk with them.
