Often sold as street snacks in Holland, stroopwafels come from the same town famous for Gouda cheese. They're a decadent treat made from two waffle cookies sandwiched together with caramel.

Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Wafels: Heat an electric nonstick waffle-cone iron. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together eggs. Whisk in sugar until well combined; whisk in extracts. While whisking, slowly add cooled butter in a steady stream until batter is smooth. Add flour mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined. Transfer batter to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round pastry tip. Pipe batter into a 2-inch circle in center of heated waffle-cone iron. Close lid and lock with clasp. Cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, remove waffle and immediately transfer to a cutting board. Using a 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out cookies; let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Caramel Filling: Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Without stirring, cook, carefully swirling, until sugar dissolves. Without stirring, continue to cook, carefully swirling, until dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and slowly add cream, stirring with a wooden spoon until combined. Add vanilla seeds, butter, and salt; stir until is smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; set aside to cool slightly.
  • Spread caramel filling onto bottoms of half the cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently to spread filling to edges.

STROOPWAFELS

Dutch stroopwafels (translation: molasseswaffles) Foreign people love them, so I translated this Dutch recipe to English.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Dutch

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅛ cups butter, melted
¾ cup white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
¼ cup warm milk
1 egg
1 ½ cups molasses
1 ⅓ cups packed brown sugar
⅓ cup butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, melted butter, sugar, yeast, milk and egg. When the dough becomes to stiff to stir, turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes. Set aside to rise for 45 minutes.
  • To make the filling, heat the molasses, brown sugar, remaining butter and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to blend, and set aside.
  • Preheat a pizzelle iron. Knead the dough briefly, and divide the dough into 2 inch balls, or a size compatible with your pizzelle iron pattern. Press the balls in the preheated iron, and cook until the iron stops releasing steam, or until the waffles are golden brown.
  • Carefully remove with a knife or spatula, and split in half horizontally (like pocket bread) while they are still warm. Don't wait too long, otherwise they will break. Spread filling on the insides, and put the halves back together.

STROOPWAFEL

The cafes of Brussels were-and still are-filled with pastries such as these decadent stroopwafels, sandwiched with caramel filling. Serving the tender cookies on top of a cup of steaming coffee makes the caramel gooey and even more irresistible. The sandwiches' sweetness is complemented by coffee's bitter flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1/3 cup (2/3 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Caramel for Stroopwafel

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick pizzelle iron. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk eggs. Slowly add sugar, and continue mixing until well blended. Whisk in vanilla and lemon extracts. Slowly add cooled butter in a steady stream, whisking continuously until batter is smooth.
  • Slowly add flour mixture, and keep whisking until flour is completely incorporated into batter. Do not overmix.
  • Fill a pastry bag fitted with a #4 Ateco plain tip with batter. Pipe 1 1/2 tablespoons batter in a circle around the center of each pattern on the heated pizzelle iron. Close and seal with clasp. Cook until golden brown, 50 to 60 seconds. Using a small spatula, release and remove cookies, and transfer to a wire rack until cool.
  • Using kitchen shears, carefully trim each cookie to the original shape of the pattern, removing any excess around edges. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons caramel on half the cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently to evenly spread caramel. Filled cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality butter: The butter you use will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your stroopwafels. Look for a butter with at least 82% butterfat content.
  • Use a waffle iron that is specifically designed for stroopwafels: This will ensure that your stroopwafels are cooked evenly and have the perfect shape.
  • Don't overfill the waffle iron: If you do, the stroopwafels will be too thick and won't cook properly.
  • Cook the stroopwafels until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Let the stroopwafels cool slightly before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the stroopwafels soggy.
  • Be creative with your fillings: You can use any type of filling you like, such as caramel, chocolate, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Stroopwafels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make perfect stroopwafels at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
