A simple and homey dessert that is always satisfying as well as guilt-free. In Belgium, a baked apple is a traditional accompaniment to many pork and game dishes. But if you feel extravagant, you can transform the simple baked apples into a special dessert by serving them with Creme Anglaise (see recipe I posted). From Everybody Eats Well in Belgium.
Witbrood recipe comes from a Flemish Baking Bread book. I have tried many recipes and I think the difference for making it dense and chewy is that there are no eggs and no real milk products and very little sugar.
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everyone Eats Well in Belgian.” She describes it as her mother’s signature dish. Recommends: “This wonderful dish is tradtionally served with Recipe #341811. Recipe #418054 make it a feast.”
From Ruth van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Ruth call this “My Mother’s Meatloaf.” She also recommends a variation: adding small cubes of Swiss cheese to the meat mixture, and placing thin slices of smoked bacon atop the loaf while it is baked.
I could not believe that there wasn’t a recipe for Speculoos on the Zaar. Did a search while I was crunching down on a couple of them – the others I saved to dunk into my coffee. To my mind, there is no better cookie to enjoy with a cup of (very good) coffee. Thin, crunchy, spicy. They are perfection. Be sure to roll the dough out very thin (I’d say about 1/8th of an inch. Adapted from a recipe found on epicurious (I like my speculoos spicier).
