Who are these syrup waffles for?

For hosts with plenty of coffee drinkers

You want to be able to offer each guest a whole syrup waffle. The number of waffles or servings shown on the pack helps you work out how many packs you’ll need.

For hosts who want to fill a sharing platter

You want guests to help themselves and need to match the quantity to the other food you’re serving. Compare the size of the waffles and the pack weight, as well as the number of waffles if it’s listed.

For hosts who need to check allergens

If a guest needs to avoid gluten or another allergen, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack before serving. Other allergens still matter, even in gluten-free syrup waffles.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’ll hand out whole waffles or put out a sharing platter. Then check the quantity and any allergens that matter to your guests on each pack.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Number of servings Compare the number of waffles or servings shown with your guest list. Jumbo lists 12 servings for its 468 g pack; Lidl lists 12 waffles for its 480 g Sondey pack. If I want to give everyone a whole waffle, I need enough individual servings. Around 44% of consumers would put this first.
How you’ll serve them Choose between regular waffles to hand out and minis for a sharing platter. ALDI lists a 300 g pack of Heerlijck Banket mini syrup waffles; check the pack for the number of waffles inside. For a table with a range of sweet treats, I want guests to be able to help themselves to a smaller bite. Roughly 33% of consumers would make this their main consideration.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label, including any warnings about cross-contamination. For its gluten-free syrup waffles, Jumbo lists egg and lupin, and says they may contain nuts and sesame. If a guest needs to avoid an allergen, I only want to serve something whose label I’ve checked against their needs. For around 23% of consumers, this would be their first requirement.

Common buying mistakes

  • Going by pack weight alone

    A 480 g pack doesn’t tell you how many whole waffles you can hand out. Lidl lists 12 waffles in its Sondey pack, while Albert Heijn says its 390 g Daelmans pack contains 10 servings.

    Compare the number of waffles or servings first, then see which pack weight suits your plans.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from all allergens

    For its Gluten-Free Syrup Waffles, Jumbo lists egg and lupin, and says they may contain nuts and sesame. So the words ‘gluten-free’ don’t answer every question about allergens.

    Ask which allergens your guests need to avoid and check the label on the pack you’re serving.

  • Assuming they’ll be available at every shop

    Lidl says its Sondey butter syrup waffles are only sold in store. If you want to use this particular pack, you’ll need to factor in a trip to the shop.

    Check shortly before buying that the pack you want is available at the shop where you do your food shopping.

  • Leaving opened packs of waffles out

    Syrup waffles won’t stay in the same condition indefinitely if you leave the pack open on the table. Voedingscentrum recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack.

    Put out a smaller amount at a time and seal the rest of the pack properly again.

Frequently asked questions

How many syrup waffles do I need for a garden party?

Plan around how you’ll serve them: one whole waffle per guest calls for a countable number of individual waffles or servings, while you’ll need a different approach for a sharing platter of minis. Albert Heijn lists eight servings for its own pack, Daelmans lists ten, and Jumbo and Lidl each list 12 for the regular packs discussed here.

Can I serve regular syrup waffles to guests who need to avoid gluten or milk?

Not without checking the specific pack: the regular varieties from Jumbo, Daelmans and Albert Heijn discussed here list wheat and milk. Read the current ingredients and allergen information before serving, even if you’ve bought a pack from the same brand before.

Are gluten-free syrup waffles also free from other allergens?

No. Gluten-free doesn’t mean free from all allergens. For its Gluten-Free Syrup Waffles, Jumbo lists egg and lupin, and says they may contain nuts and sesame. Compare the label with the allergens the guest needs to avoid.

How should I store syrup waffles left over after the garden party?

Store any leftover syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed pack, as recommended by Voedingscentrum. Reseal an opened pack rather than leaving the rest on the table.

What should I look for in warnings about possible allergens?

As well as the ingredients, check the current pack for any warnings about possible cross-contamination. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that rules on how and when such warnings are used on labels have applied in the Netherlands since 1 January 2026. Assess the pack against the allergens that matter to your guest.
