🥞 Homemade Stroopwafels Recipe

🕒 Time

  • Prep: 20 minutes
  • Cook: 20 minutes
  • Total: 40 minutes

🍽 Servings: 10 stroopwafels

🧾 Ingredients

For the Waffle Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup warm milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Caramel Filling (Stroop)

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup light corn syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  1. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk for 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar and salt.
  3. Add butter, egg, vanilla, and the yeast mixture.
  4. Knead until smooth and soft.
  5. Cover and rest the dough for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Filling

  1. Heat butter, brown sugar and syrup/honey in a saucepan.
  2. Stir until thick and caramel-like (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add vanilla and cinnamon.
  4. Keep warm — the caramel needs to stay spreadable.

Step 3: Cook the Waffles

  1. Preheat a stroopwafel iron or thin waffle iron.
  2. Divide dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
  3. Place one dough ball in the iron and cook until golden brown.
  4. While hot, slice the waffle horizontally into two thin layers. (Use a serrated knife.)

Step 4: Assemble

  1. Spread a thin layer of warm caramel onto one cookie.
  2. Place the second half on top and gently press.
  3. Repeat for all stroopwafels.

💡 Tips for Best Stroopwafels

  • Slice waffles while hot; once cool, they become too crisp to cut.
  • Keep caramel warm so it spreads smoothly.
  • Store stroopwafels in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
