Terre
Exotique’s home-made Speculoos recipe
Ingredients
240g flour;
110g butter;
1 egg;
100g sugar;
100g brown sugar;
1 teaspoon of Speculoos
mix.
Method
Beat the butter and sugar
together with an electric whisk then add the egg. In another bowl, mix the flour
and the Speculoos mix. Mix these two mixtures together until they form a
dough. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Roll out the dough
on a floured work surface with a rolling pin. Cut out your biscuits with a cookie
cutter and place on a baking tray covered with greaseproof paper.
Bake for 10 minutes at
165 °C. Leave to cool on a wire rack then keep your biscuits in an airtight
tin. Indulge with a cup of tea or coffee or use them as a spicy addition to
your sweet or savoury dishes.

The famous Speculoos mix
This little biscuit is
a classic in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and in Northern France. It was
originally handed out to children on the Feast of St Nicolas on 6th
December. Nowadays, we can all enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, in a tiramisu
or even sprinkled over duck breast!
This Speculoos mix
is perfect for amazing your guests with your very own home-made Speculoos
biscuits.
Terre Exotique’s
blend uses cinnamon, green aniseed, fennel, coriander, ginger, clove, green cardamom,
nutmeg and black pepper. All these spices ground together are the perfect
pantry companion for all your sweet and savoury recipes.
Where do Speculoos come from?
The story behind this spicy little biscuit
Speculoos biscuits were
traditionally made to represent St. Nicolas. Legend has it that St. Nicolas, the
patron saint of children, handed out these spicy little biscuits to children as
he passed through villages. Ever since, Speculoos has become the traditional biscuit
served on St. Nicolas Day, on 6th December.
Where the name Speculoos
comes from is unsure, some say it comes from the latin “species” which means
spices, while others say it comes from the word speculator which meant the bishop.
These biscuits have different names in each country; they are called Speculoos
in Belgium, Speculos in the Netherlands and Spekulatius in Germany.
