A few days ago I shared a delicious Dutch Holiday Cookie Recipe with you all and one of the ingredients was speculaas spice. Instead of buying speculaas spice, you can combine some spices you probably have on hand to make your own speculaas spice.
What is Speculaas Spice?
Speculaas Spice Mix is often used in the Dutch cuisine during fall and winter. As soon as the weather starts to turn cold all kind of delicious recipes with Speculaas spices start popping up. Baked goods containing Speculaas Spices are served on Saint Nicholas Day, like the Pepernoten Dutch Holiday Cookies.
