About

Dutch stroopwafel is listed as dessert from Netherlands. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown were read from those steps.

Ingredients

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Combine milk and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for a moment to allow the yeast to dissolve.

  2. Step 2

    In another bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for one hour. When the dough is almost ready, make the stroop filling.

  4. Step 4

    Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Let it simmer for a while.

  5. Step 5

    The stroop will continue to thicken as it cools. Shape the dough into balls weighing about 35 grams each.

  6. Step 6

    Make a total of 14. Turn your stroopwafel iron on the highest setting.

  7. Step 7

    Place a ball of dough in the iron and close the iron. Don’t flatten the waffle too much; you should still be able to cut through it.

  8. Step 8

    Bake for 1-2 minutes until the waffle is nicely golden brown. When the waffle is done, work quickly.

  9. Step 9

    Remove the waffle from the iron and immediately use a round cutter to cut out a nice circle of about 8 to 9 cm (3 to 3.5 inches). Place the hot waffle on a cutting board and cut horizontally with a sharp knife.

  10. Step 10

    The stroopwafel is very hot, so use an oven mitt to hold it in place. Take half a waffle and spread the (hot!) stroop on it.

  11. Step 11

    Place the other half on top, pressing gently if necessary, and place the waffle on a wire rack to cool. Repeat for all the balls.

Substitutions

  • flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)

    Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.

  • butter olive-oil

    Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.

  • egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)

    Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
