Dutch Honey Syrup Recipe

Dutch Honey Syrup (Dutch Honey Stroop) is a rich, caramel-like syrup made with honey, sugar, butter, and warm spices. Traditionally served with pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or drizzled over desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • 1. Add honey, brown sugar, butter, and water to a small saucepan.
  • 2. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and butter melts.
  • 3. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  • 4. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  • 5. Let cool slightly; syrup will thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • Syrup thickens more as it cools.
  • Warm gently before serving if it becomes too thick.
  • Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
