The origin of the stroopwafel

The baker had leftover dough at the end of the day and he started to make biscuits out of it. He baked the biscuits in a round bakingiron with diamond pattern on the stove. Then he cut the biscuit in half so there were 2 halves. He added Syrup in between to cover the old taste of the leftover dough.

 

The baker sold the stroopwafels at the backdoor of the bakery to the poor people of Gouda. The poor people were ashamed of having no money. Therefore they came up to the backdoor. But the taste was so good! The "sirup waffle" became more and more famous.

A famous Dutch biscuit was born!

Markets

Nowadays in the Netherlands you will find a market stall with freshly made stroopwafels at every market.

And every adult has the memory from their youth that they were allowed to buy a bag of stroopwafel crumbs for a few cents. These were the crumbs that remained from the freshly made stroopwafels.
And for a few cents more, a splash of liquid stroopwafel syrup was also poured over the crumbs.
