Pepernoten are a kind of cookie-like dessert, traditionally associated with the Sinterklaas holiday. They are light brown, randomly shaped, and made from flour, sugar, aniseed, cinnamon, and cloves. They tend to be fairly chewy, although if they are left out uncovered they will harden up a bit.
Ingredients:
-
50 grams butter (1 3/4 oz)
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup white sugar
-
1 tablespoon milk
-
1 cup self raising flour
-
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions:
-
Mix the nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ground aniseed and ginger together. This is the speculaas spice mixture.
-
Cream the butter and sugar, then add speculaas spice mix (or spices).
-
Add the flour and milk and make very very small marble sized balls.
-
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 160 C (320 F) until golden.
Goodluck!
