Re: [CnD] Speculaas from King Arthur

2020-10-03 Thread meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark
Of course, King Arthur sells the almond flour, both untoasted and toasted.  I 
know this.  That's probably why it's in the recipe.  I'm not knocking it.  They 
should give you recipes to use their products.  And, of course, I have bought 
both these products.  I like the toasted one better.  I expect you could make 
the cookies with regular flour instead and they would be good, but the almond 
flour will ad a special taste and texture.  I believe that their site says to 
substitute one to one.

Speculaas are traditionally thin, crisp, dark-brown windmill-shaped cookies 
that originated in the Netherlands.
PREP
15 mins
BAKE
15 to 20 mins
TOTAL
1 hr 30 mins
YIELD
4 dozen small cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (159g) brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cardamom*
1/2 teaspoon cloves*
1/2 teaspoon mace* (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg )
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon *
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (177g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup (48g) almond flour , toasted almond flour preferred
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 to 4 tablespoons (28g to 57g) milk (regular or low-fat, not nonfat) *Or 
substitute 1 tablespoon Speculaas spice for the cardamom, cloves, mace, and 
cinnamon Icing
1/2 cup (57g)
confectioners' or glazing sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons milk or water
Instructions
1
To make the cookies: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, 
vanilla, spices, and salt.
2
Stir in the flour, almond flour, and baking powder, then enough of the milk to 
make a stiff dough.
3
Form the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 2 hours or 
more.
4
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease, or line with parchment, two baking 
sheets.
5
Working with one disk at a time, roll the dough 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Cut out 
shapes using your desired cutters, and transfer the cookies to the prepared 
pans.
6
Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until they're lightly browned around the 
edges. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a rack to cool. As they 
cool, they'll become quite hard.
7
To make the icing: Stir together the sugar and enough milk or water to create a 
thick but "drizzle-able" icing.
8
Drizzle the icing atop the cookies decoratively.

Hi all,
To add to what Regina has stated; I would think you might be able to 
substitute an other nut flour. But, something to keep in mind would be the 
moisture/fat content of the flour. The almond flour in this increases the 
moisture which helps the cookies crisp up in the long run.

I don't think so. Almond flour has a distinct texture that contributes to

make a stiff dough.
3
Form the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 2 hours or 
more.
4
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease, or line with parchment, two baking 
sheets.
5
Working with one disk at a time, roll the dough 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Cut out 
shapes using your desired cutters, and transfer the cookies to the prepared 
pans.
6
Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until they're lightly browned around the 
edges. Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a rack to cool. As they 
cool, they'll become quite hard.
7
To make the icing: Stir together the sugar and enough milk or water to create a 
thick but "drizzle-able" icing.
8
Drizzle the icing atop the cookies decoratively.

Dutch Speculaas Cookies • Curious Cuisiniere
Speculaas (or speculoos) cookies are a staple of the Christmas season in the 
Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany. These crispy, spiced cookies are 
traditionally stamped or molded before baking to imprint an image into them, 
like the classic windmill or the figure of St. Nicholas.
SPECULOOS SPREAD?
As a side note: In the early 2000’s some Belgian and Dutch companies started 
selling a spread version of Speculaas cookies, but when in reference to the 
spread, you’ll often find the spelling of the cookies changed to Speculoos, 
rather than Speculaas.
But, you probably better know the cookie spread by the name of Biscoff or 
Cookie Butter.
How about that?
Speculaas Cookies
The dough should be refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to develop the flavor. 
It can be kept for up to 2 days in the refrigerator before baking.
Yield: 3 dozen (2 1/2 inch) cookies
Prep Time1 hr 30 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time1 hr 55 mins
 
Ingredients
6 Tbsp butter, unsalted, softened
½ c brown sugar
1 ¾ c unbleached all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground white pepper
¼ c milk
¼ c sliced almonds, optional (to decorate)
Instructions
1. 
Place butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer, until soft. 
Add the brown sugar and cream until smooth, 1-2 min.
2. 
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and spices. Add the flour 
mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined into an even, sandy 
mixture.
3. 
Add the milk and beat until the dough forms wet crumbs. Using your hands, knead 
the mixture to form a soft and pliable dough. (The dough should be soft, but 
not sticky.) Wrap the dough with plastic wrap or place it in a plastic bag, and 
refrigerate for 30 min – 1 hour. (The dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 
days before baking.)
4. 
Preheat your oven to 350F.
5. 
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it to a 1/4 - 1/3 inch 
thickness. Cut using a roughly 2 ½" cutter. Place the cut cookies on a baking 
sheet and decorate them with sliced almonds if desired. Bake the first batch 
while you knead the scraps together and re-roll the dough for a second cutting.
6. 
Bake the cookies for 11-12 min, until firm and just beginning to turn golden 
around the edges.
7. 
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 1 min before transferring them to a 
wire rack to cool completely.
8. 
Continue cutting, decorating and baking until all the dough has been used.
9. 
Store the cooled cookies in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
To use Springerle Molds
1. 
Roll the dough to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick (depending on your molds). Spray the 
molds with cooking spray and lightly dust them with powdered sugar.
2. 
Cut a piece of dough the size of the mold and press the dough firmly and evenly 
into the mold. Flip the mold over and press it onto your baking sheet, 
loosening the dough from the mold with your fingers. You can trim any excess 
dough from the cookie with a small knife. Repeat with the remaining dough. (Be 
sure to frequently dust the mold with powdered sugar and check if it needs to 
be cleaned out with a toothpick.)
3. 
Place the molded cookies on a baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator 
for 30 minutes. Bake as directed above.
To use a Springerle Rolling Pin
1. 
Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick with a normal rolling pin. Dust the springerle 
rolling pin with powdered sugar and press firmly to make a 1/4 inch cookie 
dough with one pass of the rolling pin. Cut the dough along the grid lines with 
a pizza cutter.
2. 
Place the molded cookies on a baking sheet (a dough scraper works very well to 
loosen these cookies from the counter) and place them in the refrigerator for 
30 minutes. Bake as directed above.
