Ingredients 
Metric | US Customary

  • 250 grams self-rising flour
  • 125 grams dark brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons speculaas spice mix
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100 grams cold butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • This recipe is quick to make, so preheat your oven to 175°C (350˚F) for a conventional oven.
  • Add all the dry ingredients (self-rising flour, sugar, speculaas spice mix and salt) and mix. Then add the butter and milk and knead by hand until you have a firm ball.
  • The dough does not need to be cooled in the fridge, so you can start rolling the balls straight away. I make about 70 pepernoten from this recipe. I then make balls the size of a large marble.
  • When the baking tray is full, put it in the oven for about 25 minutes. So within an hour you can be snacking on delicious warm Dutch pepernoten!
