Description

Though popular at Christmas, these Dutch spiced biscuits are traditionally baked for Het Sint Nicolaasfeest (December 6th), which marks the start of the festive season. The dough is traditionally shaped using hand-carved wooden moulds before baking, but can be substituted for plain rounds.

Directions

  • Process flour, baking powder, sugar, spices, ¼ tsp salt and butter in a food processor until mixture forms fine breadcrumbs. Add 1 tbsp iced water and process until mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a work surface, form into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm.
  • Preheat oven to 170°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Roll dough into golf ball-size balls and press into a 6 cm-round mould dusted with rice flour. (If you're not using a mould, simply flatten the portions with the palm of your hand to form rounds.) Trim excess dough, then turn out onto the lined tray and repeat with remaining dough, dusting the mould between each batch. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to help the biscuits keep their shape. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
