Green chilisAll sound advice. Here is another possibility, with fresh peppers from the produce or farm stand. I have found Serranos to be fairly consistently hot, so...

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!
