About this recipe:
A traditional sweet and spicy biscuit, speculaas or sometimes referred to as speculoos are classic Dutch biscuits. Â 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.
