Homemade Biscoff Recipe

In this video we are making some homemade Lotus Biscoff biscuits – basically also known as speculoos or speculaas. Biscoff biscuits have become super popular (including the spread) in recent times, they are deeply rich caramelised sugar, slightly spicy tasting biscuits with a sort of Autumnal vibe! Making them is pretty darn easy too, grab a cookie cutter and make your own shapes! Have fun and let me know how you get on.

300g plain flour
1tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp bicarb of soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
250g butter, softened

Biscoff is SO dangerous. You start on one then you can never stop. They are too good, they are addictive.

[ambert]

Biscoff, dipped in coffee, between bread. Delicious! My grandma had that as breakfast for years! 🥰

[TheRealMozes]

Barry, over here in Belgium we grew up dipping speculoos in coffee an then before it breaks spread it on a piece of bread. You should try it. It's why they started making the spreads.

Leave the dough overnight in fridge.. and the spices will bloom! 😍

[sebrook]

Is it bad that when Barry said to smell your phone, I did it with no questions asked! 😂

Advice I got from 3 different cookie stamp designs, and generally found to be true: if you want a good stamped design to come through in your bake, use a sugary, crispy gingerbread-type cookie, don't use leaveners, avoid whipping in air and use melted butter.

Actually, I have the week off. Might do the science and prove my hypothesis.

In the Netherlands you can buy the spices already mixed in a box called ‘speculaaskruiden ‘

Come back in a year and he'll still be fascinated by the origins of the name Biscoff XD

So apparently the lotus version of speculoos only really has cinnamon in there. So basically biscoff is a cheaper version of speculoos which in its turn is a cheaper version of the Dutch speculaas :P

Biscoff = biscuit and coffee ☕️
Never knew that lol
It’s my morning routine though

[zahralem]

I'm eating those Lotus Biscoff cookies rn, I just want to make them homemade now I'm addicted 😭🤣

[EthnobotanikFAQ]

Sometimes I’m baffled to find a video fitting exactly what I was looking for but being released just very recently like it was destiny. Will definitely try this recipe!

[equaleyez]

I'm a Belgian and have made it a few times myself, my recipe being nearly identical as Barry's. It's awesome to make it yourself, however it's impossible to make it taste like Lotus, unfortunately people expect the Lotus industrial taste because we are so used to it. The cloves and ginger are more reminiscent of the old school 'speculaas' and not 'speculoos' (Lotus variant). There is a history with Holland and how they had better access to special spices than us Belgians.

I'm belgian and a huge fan of speculoos. The (belgian) lotus brand announced that in the near future they will change the belgian name from speculoos to biscoff, similar to other countries. It caused quite a stir here :-)

Biscoff are my favourite biscuits and I was looking for a recipe thanks

[MrSteve]

YES!!!! Love these :D :D - Intrigued by the subliminal advertising of Dirty Dancing at 04:17 .... haha

Baking soda is just sodium bicarbonate, whilst baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid (cream of tartar) and a buffer such as cornstarch

[erinjames]

Used Biscoff in place of p-nut butter in cookies and New favorite cookie!!

[Tala_Masca]

As a Dutchie I can say we have the same thing, speculaas. ( Like the speculatius in Belgium) lots of people eat it whole year round but I just eat them around Sinterklaas. And we always bake kruidnoten with the kids...
