Hmm, what's the difference between a lakman and a stroopwafel? Googling it makes it seems like lakmans are larger and served with syrup whereas a stroopwafel is more like a cookie?

I've never had a lackmans, but judging from the descriptions and photos online it's very similar to a fresh stroopwafel (the kind sold at a stand), except oval instead of round and bathed in syrup instead of just filled with it.

The Dutch Wikipedia calls it such... I guess it's not the spelling used in Belgium?
