Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat your non-stick pizzelle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
03
Step
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and frothy. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04
Step
Whisk in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Gradually pour in the melted butter while whisking continuously until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
06
Step
Spoon or pipe approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter onto the preheated pizzelle iron. Close the lid and seal, if applicable. (Prep time: 1 minute)
07
Step
Cook for 50-60 seconds, or until the stroopwaffels are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove with a small, thin spatula and transfer to a wire rack to cool. (Cook time: 1 minute per waffle)
08
Step
To make the caramel syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar, corn syrup, and lemon juice. (Prep time: 1 minute)
09
Step
Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until the mixture transforms into an amber-colored syrup. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
10
Step
Reduce the heat to low and quickly whisk in the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
11
Step
If desired, strain the caramel sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any sugar crystals. Transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool slightly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
12
Step
While the stroopwaffels and caramel are still warm, spread a generous amount of caramel sauce onto one waffle and top with another to form a sandwich. Gently press together. (Prep time: 1 minute per stroopwaffel)
For best results, use a high-quality pizzelle iron to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
Do not overfill the pizzelle iron, as the batter will spread during cooking.
The caramel sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before using.
To prevent the caramel from crystallizing, avoid stirring the sugar mixture until it has melted completely.
If you don't have lemon extract, you can substitute with orange extract or almond extract for a different flavor profile.
