Stroopwafels with Treacle

Combine flour, 1 cup melted butter, white sugar, milk, egg, and yeast in a large bowl.

Knead until dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise, about 45 minutes.

Heat treacle, brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted together, 3 to 5 minutes.

Mix well until filling is smooth.

Preheat a shallow waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Knead dough briefly and divide it into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, or as needed to fit your waffle iron.

Bake 1 ball of dough the preheated iron until golden brown and iron stops steaming, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Remove with a cake spatula.

Press down with a round cutter to trim edges for a perfect circle.

Carefully slice horizontally into 2 rounds while still hot.

Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling on each round and sandwich together.

Repeat with remaining dough.
