Of course! I've tried literally dozens of recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best;

You will also need to click through to the spice mix - which is where the real magic comes from;

I've tweaked the spices a little over the years to my taste, and I don't use the orange peel in mine, not do I sprinkle flaked almonds on top.

I have my Oma's speculaasplank to make the traditional windmill shape - it's time consuming, but very impressive, and since it's almost Sinterklaas I'll be making the effort next weekend!

Happy Baking!
