What it is

Two thin waffles fused by cinnamon syrup: Gouda's sweet disc, made to be rested over a hot coffee cup so the centre turns molten. Ingredients: flour, yeast, butter, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, salt (dough); syrup filling: treacle or cane syrup, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon. Recipe: 1) Make a yeasted dough; proof. 2) Bake small balls in a waffle iron until golden. 3) Split each waffle horizontally while warm. 4) Spread with warm cinnamon syrup; press back together. Serve: balanced on a mug of coffee for one minute — the stroop melts, the edges stay crisp. Flavor: caramel, cinnamon, buttery chew. History: invented in Gouda around 1810 by a baker using up crumbs and syrup; the Netherlands now eats them by the hundreds of millions. See also: Stamppot, Erwtensoep.
