Thursday’s Toronto Star carried a travel article describing the Markthal in Rotterdam and mentioning poffertjes and stroopwafels.
Now some of you – and you know who you are – have access to simple recipes for these treats, recipes that you have used, or your mothers before you.
Prove the worth of your existence by posting a recipe that most of us here could follow.
Hint: most of us don’t have access to commercial deep-friers or eight-square-foot griddles etc.
P.S. it doesn’t matter which is the gouda recipe.

Re: poffertjes and stroopwafels
I wouldn't know what goes into poffertjies, but stroopwafels is a straight forward waffle with syrup IMHO. No different to the US or UK brand.

Re: poffertjes and stroopwafels
Poffertjes (pancake puffs) are quite easy, people do make them at home here: Classic Poffertjes (Pancake Puffs).
But stroopwafels (syrup waffles) are more difficult, I wouldn't try to make them if you don't have a special waffle iron. See Stroopwafels (Dutch Syrup Waffles). People here buy them in a shop or freshly prepared at a market stall.

Scratch them too from my things-to-do list.
This is awful; the photo in The Star (not present in the online edition) made them look life puffy-hollow pastry cream-filled icing-sugar-dusted delicacies.

If this keeps up I shall stop stealing this paper and steal a different one ...

They are so good that I refuse to buy them any more.

So it now seems to me that if I can come up with yet-another-quaint-name-for-pancakes I could make a fortune selling the recipe.ChrisGreaves wrote: ... poffertjes ...
The English seem to rave about Parisian crepes, but they're really just thin versions of the pancakes my (Lancashire) mother used to make.
"candensisyrup" might be a good starter.
