It’s
something that gets eaten at this time every year, it’s one of the many things
to look forward to when Sinterklaas is in the country. Normally we buy them
from the store, but this year I decided I wanted to make a few myself.
The last time I’ve made Kruitnoten I was still in school, around the age of 10. We would be busy rolling small balls out of the dough and when we were done it was playtime, time to play in the schoolyards, while the teachers would bake all of the kruitnoten into the oven. When playtime was over we would be welcomed by the smell of freshly baked kruitnoten, which had filled the school. It was that smell that filled my house now and reminded me of me being 10 years old and coming home, at 15.30, with a small bag of delicious home made kruidnoten.
Ingredients:
4 tsp gingerbread spices: - 8 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp clove
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp white pepper
