St Nicholas Spekulaas

The crunchy, golden biscuits made with spekulaas spice in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries for St Nicholas Day on the 5th/6th of December are traditionally shaped using hand-carved wooden moulds before baking. Saint Nicholas was known for his secret gift giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of his faithful. He is remembered to this day when spekulaas biscuits are baked.
