Speculaas Spice Blend (Dutch Holiday Spice Mix)
Dutch speculaas spice mix is the traditional blend used in the iconic windmill cookies. This simple recipe combines spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create a rich flavor for cookies, cakes, and more.I use the ground version of all the spices, but you could grind them yourself with a mortar and pestle or electric spice grinder if you prefer.This recipe makes about 7 tablespoons of spice mix, enough for several batches of cookies or treats.
