About this recipe:
A traditional sweet and spicy biscuit, speculaas or sometimes referred to as speculoos are classic Dutch biscuits. Although individual patterned moulds, often made of wood, are traditionally used to make these biscuits we used 12 cavity patterned silicone cookie or cake moulds.
Equipment:
silicone moulds, 2 x mixing bowls and baking tray
Ingredients:
250g Doves Farm Organic White Spelt Flour
½ tsp Doves Farm Baking Powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½tsp ground coriander
½tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp salt
150g butter
150g dark brown sugar
Method:
- Preheat the oven and stand the silicone moulds on a baking tray.
- Measure the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, nutmeg, cloves, and salt into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Chop the butter into cubes, put them into another mixing bowl, add the sugar and beat until soft and fluffy.
- Add the flour a spoon at a time, beating after each addition.
- Using your hands, gather everything together and press into a smooth dough.
- Cut the dough into 30 pieces, roll each into a ball and press one into the holes of the mould. Cover unused dough balls with a clean tea towel.
- Put the moulds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Allow the biscuits to cool and harden before turning out of the moulds onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Continue to press, freeze and bake the remaining dough to make more speculaas.
