Authentic Dutch Stroopwafels Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.13 cups butter, melted
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup warm milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
• cooking spray
• 1.5 cups molasses
• 1.33 cups packed brown sugar
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough: Combine flour, melted butter, sugar, warm milk, egg, and yeast in a large bowl. Once the dough thickens, transfer it to a floured surface and knead for several minutes. Let it rise for 45 minutes.
2. Create the caramel filling: In a saucepan, warm molasses, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon over medium heat. Stir until well combined and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Preheat your pizzelle iron following the manufacturer's directions and lightly coat with cooking spray.
4. Assemble the stroopwafels: Briefly knead the dough, then divide it into twelve equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 2-inch ball. Place one ball in the center of the preheated pizzelle iron. Close the iron and bake until golden brown, approximately 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the iron and carefully slice the warm cookie horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread the caramel filling on one half and sandwich with the other. Repeat for the remaining dough and filling.
