- ½ cup butter (soft)
- ⅓ cup caster sugar
- 1 egg (at room temperature), beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk (at 97 F / 36°C)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the syrup

- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter , diced
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Equipment

Instructions
Dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, egg, milk and yeast. Finally add the flour and salt and, using the dough hook, knead until obtaining a homogeneous and fairly firm dough.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, away from drafts.
- Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead it lightly.
- Divide it into 6 to 8 pieces and form balls about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
- Place the dough balls gradually on a baking sheet with enough space between them.
- Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rise for 15 minutes in a warm place, away from drafts.
Baking
- Bake the stroopwafels in a pizzelle maker, with a shallow rack. The stroopwafels must be flat and thin.
- As soon as the appliance stops releasing steam, open it and check for doneness. They must be nicely golden.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each stroopwafel in half horizontally while still warm.
Syrup
- Combine molasses, brown sugar, butter, and ground cinnamon in a saucepan.
- Heat and stir until well combined.
- Let cool.
Assembly
- In the center of each half of stroopwafel, spread about a tablespoon of syrup and place the second half on top.
