If you want to mix pieces of syrup waffle into your Dutch doughnut batter, you can cut up whole waffles and weigh out the amount your recipe calls for. Koopmans uses 180 g of gluten-free syrup waffles for 12 Dutch doughnuts. A pack is handy when weighing out what you need for a batch. If you’re looking for one waffle per wrapper, check the portion packaging carefully, as a duo pack contains two waffles.
You’ll want to weigh and cut up the syrup waffles, then fold them into the batter. Koopmans’ recipe uses 180 g of syrup waffle pieces for 12 Dutch doughnuts, so check that the pack contains enough for the batch you’re planning.
For a small batch, the number of waffles in each wrapper may matter more than the total number in the pack. According to PLUS, a Daelmans Duo wrapper contains two waffles, so it’s not the same as a single individually wrapped waffle.
Check the label on the specific variety before buying. The syrup waffles we looked at include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya. Albert Heijn describes AH Terra Plantaardig as vegan, but also states that this variety may contain milk and lactose.
First, decide how much syrup waffle you want to add to the batter. Then check whether the number of waffles per wrapper, the total quantity and the label suit the batch you’re making.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pieces for the batter | Check the net weight and weigh out the amount your recipe calls for. | If I’m mixing waffles into the batter, I want to weigh the amount my recipe calls for rather than guess by counting. For around 38% of consumers, how easy they are to use in a recipe comes first. |
| One waffle per wrapper | Check how many waffles are in each individual wrapper; a duo contains two. | For a small batch, I don’t want to open more waffles than I need. Around 31% of consumers give this portion size the highest priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label for ingredients, allergens and warnings about possible traces. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I need to know what’s stated on the pack for that variety. This check comes first for around 23% of consumers. |
| Quantity for a larger batch | Compare the net weight with the amount you need for your batch. | If I’m making a larger batch, I want to be able to weigh out enough waffles without having to plan around several small packs. For around 8% of consumers, the total quantity is their main concern. |
