Kruidnoten - Dutch "Spice Nuts" Recipe
This is a simple version of the seasonal recipe which C gave to me, along with some speculaaskruiden, when I was kruidnotenless in London. I thought I'd put this up before, but that was the speculaasbrokken, which are the kruidnoten's equally moreish giant cousins.
Dutch Spice Nuts
40g butter
50g flour
50g self-raising flour
50g soft brown sugar
salt (if using unsalted butter)
1/2 tbsp speculaas spice (or you can try mixed spice)
2 tbsp milk
Knead all ingredients to a stiff dough.
Roll into small "nuts", about 1cm big, and put them on a greased baking tray. Makes 50, give or take.
Bake for 20 minutes at 160°C.
