Stroopwafels (uses yeast)

kiwidutch's Note:

Traditional Dutch recipe that I tried in NZ when two dutch family friends had a row about who made the best ones! I don't have a wafer maker so haven't made them myself, but tasted and (procured) both recipes during the bake off and they were excellent.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 wafers

The wafers

• 500 g flour
• 100 g soft brown sugar
• 200 g butter
• 1 egg
• 50 g yeast

The Syrup

• 200 g butter
• 250 g cane syrup
• 200 g soft brown sugar
• 1 pinch cinnamon

Directions:

1. Mix all the wafer ingredients together together, knead, and then make little balls.
2. Put the little balls in a wafer iron (you'll need to experiment with the balls to find the right amount to put into the wafer iron) The temperature of the wafer iron also needs a bit of experimentation as the vary from one to another.
3. Put all the syrup ingredients together in a saucepan and mix on a low temperature until smooth and liquid.
4. Spread the syrup mixture between two wafers and your stroopwafels are ready.
