Ingredients:
Cinnamon, green anise, coriander, cardamom, ginger, clove, nutmeg, licorice, pepper.

Culinary Uses:
This blend has a warm and fragrant taste, perfect for flavoring speculoos. You can also use this mix to spice up other cookie doughs, apple compotes, cooked fruits, tiramisu, cheesecake, crème brûlée, and even ice cream! If you don't make your own ice cream, simply sprinkle a little of this blend on store-bought vanilla ice cream—it's original and fun! And why not try it on a simple fruit salad?

For 500g of flour, 250g of butter, and 250g of brown sugar, use 1 to 2 tablespoons of this blend. A tip: taste the raw dough to adjust the spices to ensure your cookies are perfectly to your liking.

History:
Speculoos is a traditional biscuit, often shaped like St. Nicholas, enjoyed during Advent in northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and western Germany. It has since abandoned its traditional shape and usage, now often served in a rectangular form alongside coffees in cafes and brasseries.

Its name likely comes from Latin, either from "speculator" (a term once used for bishops) or "species," meaning spices. Its slightly grainy texture is due to the use of brown sugar in its preparation.
