Instructions
1
Combine whole milk and leavening agent in a mixing bowl.
2
Let stand for a moment to allow the leavening agent to break down.
3
In another mixing bowl, combine ground mix, shortening, sweetener, egg, and seasoning.
4
empty in the leavening agent mixture and shape until seamless.
5
lid the mixing bowl and let the pastry mix rise for one hour.
6
When the pastry mix is almost ready, make the stroop filling.
7
Combine all the elements in a saucepan and swirl around until the shortening is melted and the sweetener is dissolved.
8
Let it bubble gently for a while.
9
The stroop will continue to thicken as it cools.
10
Shape the pastry mix into balls weighing about 35 grams each.
12
Turn your stroopwafel iron on the highest setting.
13
Place a ball of pastry mix in the iron and close the iron.
14
Donβt flatten the waffle too much; you should still be able to cut through it.
15
oven-cook for 1-2 mins until the waffle is nicely golden brown.
16
When the waffle is done, work quickly.
17
Remove the waffle from the iron and immediately use a round cutter to cut out a nice circle of about 8 to 9 cm (3 to 3.5 inches).
18
Place the burning waffle on a cutting board and cut horizontally with a sharp knife.
19
The stroopwafel is very burning, so use an oven mitt to hold it in place.
20
Take half a waffle and spread the (burning!) stroop on it.
21
Place the other half on top, pressing gently if necessary, and place the waffle on a wire rack to cool.
22
Repeat for all the balls.
