| Stroopwafels, my version. |
What: A stroopwafel is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough
with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle. It is popular in the
Netherlands, where they were first made in the city of Gouda.
So this is my first Daring Bakers challenge, and I did not really know what to expect (or NOT expect). But, one thing's for sure, my stroopwafels were not going to look like the traditional ones.

I did not have a thin wafer iron. But, being Malaysian, I grew up eating
kuih kapit, which is probably made using a similar type of mold, I'd imagine.

Now that I've solved the issue of equipment, it's time to give it a go.

Overall, it was a pretty fun challenge. It tasted pretty good too, a hint of cinnamon between thin, buttery pastry.
Looking forward to the challenge next month!
