Overview
Amsterdam Traditional Dutch Syrup Waffle Making Workshop invites everyone to dive into Dutch culture by learning to make Stroopwafels. This isn't just tasting; it's doing! People get to discover the fun of baking their own Stroopwafels, a sweet treat loved in the Netherlands.
In a cozy spot in Amsterdam, the smell of caramel fills the air, readying folks for a true Dutch experience. An experienced guide will teach the group about the history of the Stroopwafel, a Dutch favorite since the 18th century. People will put on an apron and learn to make the perfect Stroopwafel, from mixing the dough to cooking it just right for a golden, crispy waffle.
Then, each person will get a turn to roll out their dough and cook it on a special iron. The best part is drizzling warm syrup between the waffle layers, making a yummy treat. While the Stroopwafels cool, there is a chance to relax with coffee or tea and chat with other bakers.
