We are Ro, Betty, Norbert and Brenda, two dutch families who moved to the beautiful Sunshine Coast to enjoy the sunshine, beach and relaxed aussie way of life. If there is one thing that family or friends bring from home when they visit us it is the good old dutch stroopwafel. It is hard to miss them, you will smell the delicious confections long before you actually see them being made. Therefore
we thought we"ll bring this special treat to Australia for you to enjoy as well. Stroopwafels are made from two very thin layers of baked batter with a caramel-like filling in the middle. Ever notice how a Dutch person places their stroopwafel so that it sits perfectly balanced on their coffee mug? This is the traditional way to eat one, so that the rising steam from the hot beverage warms the waffle and slightly softens the inside, making it all yummy melty on one side, crispy on the other and releasing the lovely scent of cinnamon. The history of the Stroopwafel goes back until 1784. A baker from Gouda baked a waffle of old crumbs and spices and filled this waffle with syrup. The Stroopwafel was born. Be careful though, as they highly addictive. Take that first bite, at your own risk.
