Speculoos
Spiced Belgian biscuits made with brown sugar, shaped, baked, and then allowed to cool, perfect for enjoying with coffee.
Speculoos is a traditional biscuit from Belgium and the Netherlands, originally given as a gift to Saint Nicholas. It is now enjoyed year-round, often with coffee, including in northern France. Its name comes from the Latin word “species,” meaning “spices.” The use of brown sugar gives it a characteristic caramel flavor.
