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.

DUTCH STROOPWAFELS



Dutch Stroopwafels image

These buttery cookies are a Dutch classic, often sold as a quick snack on the street. They come from the same town as Gouda cheese does, but this Dutch treat is strictly cheese-free.

Time 2h25m

Yield Makes: 12 large stroopwafels (96 small wedges)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup warm milk
1 package active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup molasses
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the waffles: Place the warm milk in a small bowl and whisk the yeast into the milk. Allow the mixture to sit until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
  • Put the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles coarse meal. Add the eggs and the yeast mixture, and pulse to combine. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead just until the dough comes together in a nice ball, 5 to 7 times. Set aside to rest for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat a waffle cone iron on the medium-high setting. Form the dough into 16 equal balls, about 2 1/2 ounces each. Flatten 1 ball until it just forms a disk and place in the waffle cone iron. Shut the iron lid but don't clamp closed. Bake until crisp and golden, occasionally pressing down on the iron lid, 1 to 2 minutes. While the waffle is still warm, cut out a circle using a 4 1/2-inch round cutter, and then split the waffle horizontally using a knife. You should have 2 thin waffle halves. (If you wait until the waffle is cool it will be harder to cut.)
  • For the filling: Combine the molasses, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Bring to the soft-ball stage (235 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer), stirring constantly, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into a heat-resistant glass measuring cup and allow the mixture to cool until it thickens but is still spreadable, about 10 minutes. (If the filling gets too thick, rewarm in the microwave at 30-second intervals until the desired consistency is achieved.) Spread 2 tablespoons of filling on the cut side of a waffle and top with the other half. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
  • Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter, or cut into wedges if desired. Mix confectioners' sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, and sprinkle it on top of the stroopwafels.

MARTHA'S STROOPWAFELS



Martha's Stroopwafels image

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



Stroopwafels image

This is a Dutch favorite, though I've seen them recently at Starbucks (horribly overpriced, of course). If you don't have a "pizzelle" iron, don't despair. There's a super-easy shortcut: just buy waffle cookies at your supermarket (and Trader Joe's has some really fantastic cookies for sure). That's what I ended up doing, so don't think I am a whiz at pizzelle making! I halved this recipe, and was still able to have filling leftover when I made 12 cookies. I think this recipe is for filling full sized (6-8 inch) cookies. So plan on having quite a few cookies if you are using store bought cookies (3-4 inch). I found this recipe through google, and preferred it over the one already posted on Recipezaar, so here it is!

Time 45m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons dark corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat a pizzelle iron.
  • To Make Waffles: Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Cut butter into the flour. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon, eggs and yeast mixture. Mix well and set aside to rise for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Roll dough into 12 small balls; Squeeze each ball into the preheated pizzelle iron and bake for about 30 seconds. Cut the waffles into two thin waffles and spread with filling.
  • To Make Filling: In a saucepan boil the brown sugar, the remaining one cup of the butter, cinnamon (this is a must-have ingredient), and dark corn syrup until it reaches the soft ball stage (234-240°F, 112-115°C), stirring constantly.
  • To Assemble: Cut each waffle (only if home-made waffles) into 2 thin waffles and spread with filling. Repeat this process until all the filling is used. If using store bought, simply spread about 1 tablespoon of filling on one waffle cookie, let it cool about 1 minute, and squeeze a second cookie on top.
  • Makes 12 servings (more if using store-bought). Best if eaten after they've cooled, less messy that way!
  • Tip: Try eating stroopwafel by resting it over a warm cup of coffee or tea -- the steam will warm these up just right.

STROOPWAFELS



STROOPWAFELS image

Categories     Cookies     Breakfast     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Number Of Ingredients 12

[for the wafel]
500 grams flour
250 grams melted butter
150 grams white sugar
50 grams yeast
a little lukewarm milk
an egg
[for the filling:]
500 g syrup
300 grams dark sugar
75 grams butter
one teaspoon cinnamon powder

Steps:

  • The secret of the stroopwafel is divided into two parts. One half of the secret is that you can handle hot waffles only. Otherwise they will break. The other half is that byou should mix the butter and sugar through the syrup, this will make it stiffer and yet still be sticky. The preparation consists of two parts: the baking of the wafers and the filling. Wafels: Make from the cake ingredients a pastry. Do this with your hands. Let the dough rise for 45 minutes, the best is on a wet-warm place. Mix it again and then divide the dough into small balls of the size of a solid marble. Filling: Heat the syrup and mix the other ingredients through it. Put a ball of dough in a waffle-iron and bake it on both sides done. Get it out with a knife from the waffle iron and cut the waffle open when it is still hot. Wait not to long, because then you will break the wafer. Spread one half with the filling and press the other half on it. To ensure that you are not fast enough for the wafers to cut it open, it is better to do it with someone together. That is also much more fun

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your stroopwafels.
  • Make sure your butter and syrup are at room temperature before you start. This will help them mix together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the stroopwafels tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the stroopwafels. They should be cooked until they are golden brown, but not burnt.
  • Let the stroopwafels cool completely before you fill them. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Store the stroopwafels in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Stroopwafels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can make stroopwafels that are just as good as the ones you buy in the store. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give stroopwafels a try. You won't be disappointed.
