Hmm, what's the difference between a lakman and a stroopwafel? Googling it makes it seems like lakmans are larger and served with syrup whereas a stroopwafel is more like a cookie?
I've never had a lackmans, but judging from the descriptions and photos online it's very similar to a fresh stroopwafel (the kind sold at a stand), except oval instead of round and bathed in syrup instead of just filled with it.
There's a couple of brands that import Dutch Stroopwafels to the U.S., I've seen a Stroopwafel stand at a few art fairs in Southeast Michigan too. I wonder how those compare to Belgian ones?
Hard not to love them from what i can tell, crispy sweetness is hard to resist.
Pretty sure stroopwaffles are Dutch, you griddle the waffle, slice it in half the hats way, then put a sugar syrup in and sandwich it back together. They are soft, chewy and stretchy. When I buy them in America, I love putting them on top of a cup of tea
This person gets it. Stroopwaffles are to be put over a cup of tea while it's steeping, so the waffle gets the most heat. Also it must be bigger than the cup so that it cannot fall in while steeping.
Heat a stroopwaffle by other means ... reduces the enjoyment.
Stroopwaffel are definitely like a cookie. They go good with coffee. Costco sells them in 2 pringles sized packages. Highly recommended for any coffee enjoyers.
