Vintage Speculaas (Speculoos / Biscoff)
Makes 36
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rye or whole wheat flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baker's ammonia
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup lard (or shortening, if you can't find decent lard or are weirded out by it)
1/2 cup fine sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp coarse sanding sugar for topping
- In a bowl whisk together flours, spices, baker's ammonia and salt.
- In a large separate bowl, cream together butter, lard, and sugars. Add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it is well combined.
- Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll out dough to 1/8"-thickness.
- You can bake this as a large sheet of cookie, scored (like scones) to cut later, or, you can use cookie cutters to make cookie shapes.
- Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- For a solid sheet of dough, bake for 20-25 minutes, then break shapes along the scored lines. For shapes from raw dough, place dough shapes onto parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, until crisp.
- Cool on the sheets on a rack.
