Today it’s 5 December – time for the Dutch ‘Sinterklaas’
celebrations, lots of presents, happy children and of course: PEPERNOTEN! But
what to do if you don’t live in Holland and can’t just go to the supermarket
for a bag or two (or twenty) of pepernoten? Here’s your answer:
You will need:
- 500 gram wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 150 gram sugar (preferably raw or brown sugar)
- 100 gram honey
- 6 tbsp milk
- 4 tbsp ‘speculaaskruiden’* (see below)
- 160 gram soft butter
