400g Flour
200g sugar
200g margarine
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon ground cloves
water
sliced almonds

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and spices together.  Rub in margarine. Create a well in the middle and add in the beaten egg. Mix together and knead into  dough, adding water by the tablespoon full if necessary. Leave the dough to rest - allow it to cool but not chill completely as it is then too hard to roll.

Preheat the oven to 170C.Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll dough out to 5mm thickness. Cut a rectangular shape to fit the baking try. Scatter sliced almonds over the baking paper and the dough onto the almonds. Bake for  12 - 15 minutes until done. Remove from  oven and cut into rectangles whilst still warm.

You can, of course, leave out the almonds, and mould the dough into the traditional speculatius mould, or simply cut out shapes with the traditional cookie cutter.

It's the time of the year again wherein people are trying to be a chef or pastry expert by baking their specialties! Personally, I prefer baking over cooking major recipes because it's more fun and entertaining! Thank you for sharing all things we need to know about speculatius. The name itself sounds complicated for the recipe. The almonds are it more enticing, and I want to try it anytime soon! I will show my own version once I ma done with it!

    On this page I am Angela, daughter of German mother and Austrian father who kept very true to their traditions over Christmas. This is my way of preserving those traditions.
