Dutch Stroopwafels

 

The stroopwafel originates from Gouda in the Netherlands. The first stroopwafel was made during the late 18th century or early 19th century. One story ascribes the invention of the stroopwafel by a baker named Gerard Kamphuisen, which would date the first stroopwafels somewhere between 1810, the year when he opened his bakery, and 1840, which is the year of the oldest known recipe for syrup waffles. The recipe started by a baker using leftovers from his bakery, such as breadcrumbs, which were sweetened with syrup.

 

 

 

In the 19th century, there were around 100 Stroopwafel bakers in Gouda, which was the only city in which they were made until 1870. After 1870 they were also made at parties and in markets outside the city of Gouda. In the 20th century, factories started to make stroopwafels. In 1960, there were 17 factories in Gouda alone, of which four are currently still open.

Our recipe and treat

 

The Dutch Stroopwafel is a local treat that melts in your mouth. Our Stroopwafels are made using an original secret Dutch recipe which gives it its original taste that tickles everyone’s taste buds.

 

The traditional way to eat the stroopwafel is to place it on top of a cup slightly smaller in diameter than the waffle. The cup is filled with a hot steaming beverage as chocolate milk, coffee or thee. The rising steam warms the waffle, slightly softens the inside, and makes the waffle soft on one side while still crispy on the other side.
