Join me and let's see how to make Stroopwafel
Instructions:
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Make a well in the center.
Step 3
Pour the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg into the well. Mix everything together to form a dough.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
While the dough is resting, prepare the syrup filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and corn syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
Preheat your stroopwafel iron or waffle maker.
Step 7
Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place a ball in the center of the preheated stroopwafel iron and close it. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the stroopwafel is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the stroopwafel from the iron and immediately slice it in half horizontally to create two thin waffle cookies.
Step 9
Spread a generous spoonful of the syrup filling onto one of the waffle cookies and top it with the other half. Press gently to make the filling spread to the edges.
Step 10
Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Allow the stroopwafels to cool and the filling to set before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy your homemade Dutch stroopwafels with a warm beverage of your choice!
