In November, Sinterklaas will arrive in the Netherlands again. It immediately sounded like a good idea to combine speculaas and waffles together; speculaas waffles are really delicious! Speculaas seasoning is connected to the days getting colder, the time we need something to warm us inside. Speculaas seasoning has that effect. Sinterklaas is the season of shorter, darker and stormier days. Adding speculaas seasoning to a dish gives it a rich and warming flavor. Waffles are perfect for breakfast!
I used a classic waffle batter from my cookbook Wafels from Tara Duggan and added speculaas seasoning and crumbled speculaas to it. The waffle batter contains eggs, full-fat milk, butter, vanilla extract, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Other speculaas recipes on the blog are Gingerbreadmen or Speculaasmannetjes or Speculaas Pear Pie.
