Those who love Holland and the countries of northern Europe will surely have tasted the Stroopwafel. These super sweet cookies are hard to buy online, but you can still easily make them, here's the recipe.
Lo stroopwafel it's a typical Dutch dessert well known and easy to prepare. The characteristic and simplicity of this dessert, or rather, biscuit, make it recognizable and good both to the Dutch and to those coming from outside. Stroopwafel literally means syrup wafers. The first were produced in Holland in 1784 even if today there are many different versions of this dessert.
Did you live in the Netherlands or did you spend part of your life there? Have you had an unforgettable holiday and now back in Italy you can't help but eat these splendid sweets for a snack? Here, I have the solution. Even though I haven't lived in the Netherlands, I've spent part of my life there, I've been to the Netherlands several times and I know what that means have an addiction to these sweet cookies. The most practical thing to do would be to buy an industrial supply so that you always have some stock at home, between trips to Holland. But if you can't or didn't have time on the last trip, how can you do it? They are made at home!
It is not difficult to find them in supermarkets, In airports, but also al market, in the sweet stalls, already packaged or prepared instantly and enjoyed hot. They are in fact very simple to prepare, it does not take too long and not even too expensive raw materials. What I have seen is that often when a wafer breaks, crumbles, is not thrown away, separate bags are made and sold at a lower price. The stroopwafel in pieces practically. In the village festivals, but also in the neighborhood markets of various Dutch cities, it is very easy to find them.
Many make them on the spot, while others sell them already beautiful and ready, it doesn't matter… when you find them and taste them, you will understand why I tell you that a real addiction develops.
How to make? Making them at home is not easy, also because it takes those particular plates. Honestly, I've never tried it but I found the "original" recipe, of which I give you just the ingredients, because as I said I've never done them and I wouldn't want to give you bad information. But if anyone plans to make them then tell me how they come! The nice thing is that in winter you can eat as a snack and if you go to some country in northern Europe, which is not necessarily Holland, you will find that they use them to cover the tea, to keep it warm and at the same time also heat. the biscuit lying on the cup as a cover.
