What is Spiced speculoos biscuits?
Spiced speculoos biscuits are thin, crisp biscuits made with flour, sugar and fat, flavoured with warming spices such as cinnamon and clove. They are associated with Belgium, the Netherlands and parts of Germany, where they are especially popular in the winter and around Christmas; traditional versions may be pressed into patterned moulds.
Their caramel-like sweetness and crunchy bite make them a familiar companion to coffee or tea, whether served with an afternoon drink or offered after a meal. They are mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, so a couple of biscuits can be a satisfying small treat. Crumble them over plain yoghurt or fruit for extra crunch, or pair with unsweetened coffee to balance the sweetness.
