Classic Stroopwafels

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Stroopwafels.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the flour, melted butter, sugar, warm milk, egg, and yeast.

2. Step 2

   Stir everything together until it’s well blended and smooth.

3. Step 3

   As the dough thickens and becomes too tough to mix, turn it out onto a floured surface.

4. Step 4

   Here, you’ll knead the dough by hand for a few minutes until it feels soft and elastic.

5. Step 5

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size—this is the moment when the magic happens! While your dough is rising, let’s prepare the scrumptious filling.

6. Step 6

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine molasses, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon.

7. Step 7

   Stir the mixture gently until it’s warm and everything is beautifully blended, then set it aside to cool slightly.

8. Step 8

   Next, it’s time to preheat your pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

9. Step 9

   A light spray of cooking spray will help ensure your treats don’t stick.

10. Step 10

    Once the dough has risen and is ready to go, give it a quick knead and divide it into twelve equal pieces.

11. Step 11

    Roll each piece into a ball about 2 inches in diameter—this is where you can really feel the dough’s lovely texture! Now, place one dough ball in the center of your preheated pizzelle iron, close it up, and let it cook for about 1 ½ to 3 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

12. Step 12

    Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron, and while it’s still warm, use a serrated knife to cut it in half horizontally.

13. Step 13

    Here comes the fun part! Spread the warm filling generously on the inside of one half, then sandwich it back together with the other half.

14. Step 14

    Repeat this delightful process with the remaining dough and filling, and soon you’ll have a batch of irresistible treats to share (or keep all to yourself!).

15. Step 15

    Enjoy the sweet aroma and the joy of creating something truly special!.
