Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix the milk and yeast together in a bowl.
  2. Allow the milk and yeast mixture to sit briefly so the yeast can dissolve.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt.
  4. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl containing the flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt.
  5. Work the mixture until it becomes smooth.
  6. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for one hour.
  7. For the stroop filling, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan.
  8. Heat the stroop filling while stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  9. Allow the stroop filling to simmer for a short time.
  10. Divide the dough into balls, each weighing approximately 35 grams.
  11. Make a total of 14 dough balls.
  12. Set the stroopwafel iron to its highest temperature.
  13. Put a dough ball into the iron and close it.
  14. Avoid pressing the waffle too flat; ensure it remains thick enough to cut.
  15. Cook the waffle for 1-2 minutes until it turns a golden brown.
  16. Once baked, take the waffle out of the iron right away.
  17. Use a round cutter to create a circle of about 8 to 9 cm (3 to 3.5 inches) from the warm waffle.
  18. Set the hot waffle on a cutting board.
  19. Slice the waffle horizontally with a sharp knife, holding it steady with an oven mitt.
  20. Take one half of the waffle and spread the warm stroop on top.
  21. Gently place the other half on top of the stroop, pressing down if needed.
  22. Set the completed waffle on a wire rack to cool.
  23. Repeat this process for all the remaining dough balls.
