Stroopwafels with Treacle

Stroopwafels with treacle is a delightful Dutch treat that combines a crisp, thin waffle-like cookie with a gooey, sweet treacle filling. The stroopwafel dough is made from flour, butter, sugar, eggs, yeast, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a fragrant and flavorful base. After the dough is cooked on a specialized stroopwafel iron, it's sliced in half horizontally and filled with warm treacle, a thick syrup made from molasses or sugar cane. The treacle oozes out from the center, creating a mouthwatering contrast of textures and flavors. Enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea, Stroopwafels with treacle are a beloved indulgence that satisfies any sweet tooth.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup lukewarm milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • 1 cup molasses or black treacle
  • 1 ⅓ cups soft brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Combine flour, 1 cup melted butter, white sugar, milk, egg, and yeast in a large bowl. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise, about 45 minutes.

  • Preheat a shallow waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Knead dough briefly and divide it into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, or as needed to fit your waffle iron.
  • Bake 1 ball of dough the preheated iron until golden brown and iron stops steaming, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove with a cake spatula.

Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling on each round and sandwich together. Repeat with remaining dough.
