Dutch Stroopwafel Recipe
Stroopwafels are a beloved Dutch treat consisting of filled waffle cookies. The dough, made from flour, sugar, milk, eggs, cinnamon, and yeast, is shaped into balls and cooked on a thin waffle iron. Once cooked, the cookies are filled with a sweet syrup or caramel.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour - 4 cups
- Butter, melted - 1 1/8 cups
- Active dry yeast - 14g
- Milk, warm - ¼ cup
- Egg, whole - 1
- White sugar - ¾ cup
- Molasses - 1 ½ cup
- Brown sugar - 1 1/3 cup
- Butter - 1/3 cup
- Cinnamon, ground - 1 tsp
Instructions
- Mix the flour, melted butter, sugar, yeast, milk and egg in a large bowl using a wooden spoon.
- When the dough gets stiff enough that it becomes really hard to stir, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a couple of minutes.
- Let the dough rise for 45 minutes
- In those 45 minutes, make the filling by heating up the molasses, brown sugar, remaining butter and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir to blend, then set aside.
- Preheat the pizzelle iron.
- Knead the dough briefly, and create 2 inch balls, or any size that is compatible with your iron.
- Press the balls against the preheated iron and cook until the iron stops releasing steam or when the waffles are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and slice the waffle in half horizontally while warm.
- Before the halves cool, spread the filling on one side and then put the halves back together.
