I bought a jar of Speculoos ages ago from a trip to Europe and it's been sat at the back of my cupboard gathering dust. You can now buy it in supermarkets here which is good as I will probably want more after the success of these cupcakes. I baked these for work using a recipe I found online and they were absolutely delicious. It has a rich caramel flavour and a lovely smooth consistency. It tastes exactly like the little Lotus biscuits that you often get with coffee/tea but in cupcake form.
milk, brown sugar, plain flour, butter, speculoos, eggs

Oh lovely!
ReplyDeleteI adore Speculoos and was wondering what to do with the jar at the back of a cupboard - a present from a Belgian friend.
Now I know you can get it here I could easily become addicted.
It is quite addictive! :)
DeleteOh wow, I seriously need to get my hands on a jar of Speculoos! Fantastic looking cupcakes.
