A sweet journey through time: the irresistible history of the Dutch syrup waffle!
We all know and love the stroopwafel. Warm, gooey, and full of flavor. But have you ever wondered where this Dutch delicacy originated? Join us on a delightful journey back in time, to the place where it all began: Gouda.
The birth of an icon in Gouda
The year is 1870. The Netherlands, and especially Gouda, is known for its cheese and candles. But in a small bakery, something magical happens. The baker, probably wanting to use up the last crumbs, creates an ingenious recipe. He bakes two thin, round waffles from leftover dough and seals them together with a thick layer of syrup. The stroopwafel, as we know it today, is born.
In its early years, the stroopwafel was primarily a treat for the poor, made with inexpensive ingredients. But it didn't take long for the unique combination of a crispy waffle and a soft, sweet syrup filling to win over everyone.
From the market to the world
The stroopwafel became so popular that it became a must-have at markets and bakeries throughout the Netherlands. Today, it's a symbol of Dutch conviviality and hospitality. You'll find them everywhere: freshly baked at street markets, in handy packets in supermarkets, and as a prized souvenir for tourists.
And don't forget the golden rule: place your stroopwafel on a warm mug of tea or coffee. The heat will melt the syrup, and the waffle will become wonderfully soft. A small effort for a heavenly treat!
