Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Weigh and then dice the butter.
In a large bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder, cane sugar, speculaas spices and salt.
Add the butter and 4 tbsp milk, then knead into a firm dough.

Shape the dough into a ball.
Dust the countertop with some flour, then roll out the dough into a rectangle of around 1cm thickness (see Tip).
Use a knife to cut out twelve mitre shapes (see photo for how this should look).

Tip: if the dough sticks to the rolling pin, place a sheet of parchment paper over the dough. You can then roll it out as instructed above, before discarding the parchment paper.

Roll out any offcuts of the dough and cut out another mitre if there is enough.
Transfer the mitres to one or two parchment-lined baking sheets as needed.
Arrange four almonds on top of each mitre so as to make a diamond shape (see photo).

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 2 tbsp milk.
Brush the egg wash over the mitres, then bake in the middle of the oven for 30 - 35 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
