Cultural Note
Originating from Gouda in the late 18th century, the stroopwafel consists of two thin waffles joined by caramel syrup. The Dutch trick is to place one on top of a hot cup of coffee or tea so the syrup melts. Fresh stroopwafels from market stalls are considered far superior to packaged ones.
