Stroopwafels

Description

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

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

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

Servings: 12
