A stroopwafel (; ) is a thin, round biscuit made from two layers of sweet baked dough held together by a syrup filling, often caramel. First made in the city of Gouda in South Holland, stroopwafels are a well-known Dutch treat popular throughout the Netherlands.
== Description == The wafers of a stroopwafel are made from a stiff dough of flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs that has been pressed in a hot waffle iron until crisp. While still warm, the waffles have their edges removed with a cookie cutter, which allows the remaining disc to be easily separated into top and bottom wafers. A filling made from syrup, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (also warm) is spread between the wafers before the waffle is reassembled. However, many modern-day stores (especially outside of The Netherlands) may use a more common caramel mix. The filling sets as it cools, thereby binding the waffle halves together.
