Hey everyone! Who's up for a delicious taste of Dutch goodness? Stroopwafels are iconic Dutch treats loved for their crispy waffle exterior and gooey caramel filling. Whether you've savored them during a trip to the Netherlands or you're just curious about trying something new, making homemade stroopwafels is a fun and rewarding experience. Let's dive into this sweet adventure together!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 75g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 7g active dry yeast
- 60ml warm milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Stroopwafel syrup or caramel sauce for filling
- Dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, alternating with the yeast-milk mixture, and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your stroopwafel iron or waffle maker.
- Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a thin disc that fits your waffle iron.
- Cook each disc in the waffle iron until golden and crispy.
- While the waffles are still warm, use a sharp knife to carefully slice each one in half horizontally to create two thin wafers.
- Spread a layer of stroopwafel syrup or caramel sauce onto one wafer and sandwich it with the other.
- Press gently to seal the edges, and let the stroopwafels cool before serving.
