Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour
- Active Dry Yeast
- Warm Whole Milk
- Unsalted Butter
- Granulated Sugar
- Ground Cinnamon
- Salt
- Eggs
- Dutch Stroop
- Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Combine Dutch stroop, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and just boiling, then set aside to cool and thicken.
- In a stand mixer bowl, whisk warm milk and yeast together and let sit for five minutes until foamy.
- Mix eggs, melted butter, and granulated sugar into the yeast mixture, then gradually incorporate cinnamon, salt, and flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough into a smooth ball, divide into 18 pieces (50g each), roll into balls, and let rest covered for one hour.
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high and bake each dough ball for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Immediately slice the hot waffles horizontally, spread a tablespoon of the prepared filling inside, and press the halves together.
Notes
For the best results, use a sharp, thin blade to split the waffles while they are still steaming hot from the iron. If the waffles cool too much, they will become crisp and shatter rather than slice cleanly, so it is helpful to have a partner assist with the filling process while you manage the iron.
