Authentic Dutch Stroopwafel Recipe: A Sweet Delight

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. In another bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with water, until a dough forms.

   Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
2. 2

   Shape the Waffles

   Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Preheat a waffle iron and lightly grease it. Place a dough ball in the center and close the lid to cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

   Do not overfill the waffle iron to avoid spilling.
3. 3

   Make the Syrup Filling

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, then let it simmer for a few minutes.

   Keep stirring to prevent burning.
4. 4

   Assemble the Stroopwafels

   Once the waffles are cool enough to handle, carefully slice them in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of the syrup filling on one half and place the other half on top.

   Work quickly as the syrup may harden as it cools.
5. 5

   Serve and Enjoy

   Serve the stroopwafels warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with coffee or tea.

   For a traditional touch, warm the stroopwafel over a hot drink before eating.
