Stroopwafel

Stroopwafel is a traditional Dutch treat made of two thin waffle cookies filled with caramel syrup.

Ingredients - Serves 10

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the flour and yeast mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat a stroopwafel iron or a regular waffle iron.
Divide the dough into small balls and place each ball onto the preheated iron.
Close the iron and cook the waffles for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each waffle in half horizontally.
Spread caramel syrup on one half of each waffle and sandwich it with the other half.
Serve the stroopwafels warm or at room temperature.
