Dutch Traditional Mini Stroopwafel

Individually wrapped   Syrup Waffle

A stroopwafel (English translation: syrup waffle or  treacle  waffle) is a  waffle  made from two thin layers of baked batter with a caramel-like  syrup  filling in the middle. They were first made in  Gouda  in the  Netherlands , in 1784.

Ingredients

The stiff batter for the waffles is made from  flour ,  butter ,  brown sugar ,  yeast ,  milk ,  eggs . Medium sized balls of batter are put on the  waffle iron . After the waffle has been baked, and while it's still warm, it's cut into halves. The warm filling, made from syrup,  brown sugar , butter, and  cinnamon , is spread between the waffle halves, gluing them together.

History

The stroopwafel originates from  Gouda  in the  Netherlands . It was first made during the late 18th century or early 19th centuryby a baker using leftovers from the bakery, such as breadcrumbs, which were sweetened with syrup. One story describes the invention of the  stroopwafel  to the baker Gerard Kamphuisen, which would date the first  stroopwafels  somewhere between 1810, the year when he opened his bakery, and 1840, the year of the oldest known recipe for syrup waffles. In the 19th century, there were around 100 syrup waffle bakers in Gouda, which was the only city in which they were made until 1870. After 1870 they were also made at parties and in markets outside the city of Gouda. In the 20th century, factories started to make  stroopwafels . In 1960 there were 17 factories in Gouda alone, of which four are currently still open.
