Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 250 g butter
- 200 g sugar
- 500 g flour
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp clove powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp water
- 60 g almond(s), flakes
Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 30 minutes
Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the remaining ingredients (spices, flour, baking powder, and water) a spoonful at a time and knead thoroughly. Let the prepared dough rest and then refrigerate for 12 hours. Lightly dust a lightly floured speculatius baking board. Press the dough firmly into the baking pan and scrape off any excess dough with a sharp knife or wire. Place the speculatius baking board over a cloth or floured surface and hit one narrow side firmly against the surface to release the formed speculatius. Brush the undersides of the speculatius with egg yolk and top with flaked almonds. Bake on a greased baking tray at 200°C on the middle rack for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
