Fiery speculaas
Fiery speculaas
Warn your guests before they take a bite! The addition of the red pepper really gives my own interpretation of the classic speculaas a definite kick…..
For 24 speculaas
110 grams soft (vegan)butter
150 grams light muscovado sugar
2 grams salt
50 milliliter vegan milk or buttermilk
250 grams sifted flour
10 grams baking powder
10 grams ground cinnamon
5 grams ground nutmeg
5 grams ground cloves
5 grams ground ginger
3 grams ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground dried red chili pepper
Place the butter, the muscovado sugar and the salt in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add the milk, the flour, the baking powder and all the spices and knead into a ball.
Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 1 night to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300 °F). Cover a cookie sheet with baking paper. Draw the shape of a chili pepper and cut out. Roll out the dough to a 1/4 cm thickness. Place the paper shape on dough and cut around it with a sharp knife. Bake the speculaas in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and let them cool completely on the sheet.
