Ingredients
200 gram plain flour100 gram caster sugara little salt3 teaspoons speculaas-spices2 tablespoons milk125 gram cold butterflour for dusting the mold
Sift the flour with the sugar, salt and spices into a large bowl.
Then add the milk. Take a knife, add the butter into the mixture and and mix while cutting.
If you use a mixer make sure to use the hooks.
Take the dough, put it in foil (make sure that there is no air in when you close the foil) and put in fridge for a few hours (preferably a whole day)
Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius
Take the dough out of the fridge.
Press an amount of dough in the speculaas shapes and cut away the excess dough with a very sharp knife.
Tap the shapes out of the molds (this is NOT easy, esp. with new molds, they need a bit of help)
Keep a close eye on the speculaas during the later stage of the baking, because you don’t want your speculaas be too dark, (you will taste and smell it, burned sugar!).
Transfer them to cool on a rack.
