Stroop(syrup)waffles are a delicacy and tradition throughout Holland and if you have had the pleasure of tasting one fresh from the oven you will understand why. Originating in Gouda and also the home of the famous Dutch cheese, Gouda!

The waffle dough is made from a combination of flour, eggs, butter, yeast, brown sugar and milk. This waffle like biscuit is first rolled into a small ball of dough, flattened & cooked in a waffle iron. The still warm cooked waffle is then sliced in half and filled with a sticky caramel syrup, which has a a hint of cinnamon. It is then baked once more to create a chewy & sweet biscuit, when warm it is simply too good to resist especially in the cool Holland climate. There is nothing better than the freshly made ones as seen here and found everywhere on the streets in Holland. But if you want to try one of these little treats they are available in supermarkets and specialty food stores.

Lekker!
