The story of the dish

Stroopwafels were created in the late 19th century in Gouda, Netherlands, by baker Gerrit de Vlaming, who adapted a German spiced waffle recipe by adding local molasses syrup. They are traditionally eaten as a sweet snack or dessert, often enjoyed with coffee or tea, and commonly sold at markets and street vendors.

The name: The name 'stroopwafel' means 'syrup waffle' in Dutch, referring to the syrup-like caramel filling sandwiched between two thin waffled cookies.

👨‍🍳 Chef’s tips
