Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 15 ml milk
- 7 grams dried instant yeast
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 80 grams soft white sugar
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
Stroop (Caramel Filling):
- 200 grams Dutch stroop
- 120 grams brown sugar
- 80 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by combining the milk and yeast in a bowl. Let this mixture stand for a moment to allow the yeast to dissolve completely.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead everything until you have a smooth dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for one hour.
- When the dough is almost done rising, it’s time to make the stroop filling. Combine all the stroop ingredients in a saucepan and stir until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Let it simmer for a while. Remember that the stroop will continue to thicken as it cools!
- Shape the dough into balls weighing about 35 grams each. You should be able to make about 14 balls in total. Turn your stroopwafel iron on to the highest setting.
- Place a ball of dough in the hot iron and close it. Don’t flatten the waffle too much – you should still be able to cut through it horizontally later. Bake for 1-2 minutes until your Dutch stroopwafel is nicely golden brown.
- When the waffle is done, you need to work quickly! Remove it from the iron and immediately use a round cutter to shape it into a nice circle about 8 to 9 cm (3 to 3.5 inches) in diameter.
- Place the hot waffle on a cutting board and cut horizontally with a sharp knife. The stroopwafel will be very hot, so I recommend using an oven mitt to hold it in place.
- Take one half of the waffle and spread some of the hot stroop on it. Place the other half on top, pressing gently if needed, and place your finished stroopwafel on a wire rack to cool. Repeat for all the remaining dough balls.
