Stroopwafels!

[crimsonviolet]

Hubby's parents are going to visit family in Holland next week. We have a deep love for that quintessential Dutch treat - stroopwafels. If you know what they are, you probably know how delicious they taste!

Whenever someone we know goes to Holland, they always bring back a ton of goodies, but the stroopwaffels are what we look forward to the most. Is there a gluten-free brand of these sinful treats that can be purchased in Holland? Please tell me there is!

Ah .... stroopwafel I remember them well

I used to love them too - even though they were very, very sweet (I am more of an extra salty drop girl myself ...)

Of course drop is now out too. So sad ....

I don't think they make them in the Netherlands.

I did a search for them and came up empty.

May I suggest that you put in a call to a Dutch food importer, such as this one:

1dutchmall.com / Holland American

10343 E. Artesia Blvd.

Bellflower, CA 90706

Phone:562-925-6914

Fax:562-925-4507

Hours: Monday -Friday (10am-5pm)

Saturday (10am-6pm)

Sunday (11am - 4pm)

If they do make them they can tell you the brand and then your husband's parents can search them. By the way, "gluten free" in Dutch translates to "glutenvrij".

One of my coworkers brought in stroopwafel - and kruidkook (spice cake) last month - there they were on the breakroom table and it broke my heart not to be able to have some of both.

Sorry I was not able to help you out more. But I'd put in a call to the folks above and see what they say.

Grootjes!

Update tsfairy:

Oh, god, I found them!!

A company called Consenza makes them.

I looks like they are made from rice flour (rijstzetmeel) and corn meal (maiszetmeel) and come in a package of 4 pieces for 5 Euros. Have your hubby's parents try finding them in a big supermaket like Albert Hejn - and have them ask (or print out the page) and show it to them there.

Good luck to you!

If you like them let me know how they taste!!

Bestjes!!
