分步操作

1. 1

   Combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, egg, lemon zest, and almond extract in a bowl.

   约 5分钟

   烹饪提示： Ensure the almond flour is finely ground for a smooth paste.

2. 2

   Mix thoroughly until a firm almond paste forms, then cover and set aside.

   烹饪提示： If the paste is too dry, add a tiny bit more egg or water, a few drops at a time.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, speculaas spice mix, baking powder, and salt.

   约 2分钟

4. 4

   Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.

5. 5

   Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

   约 5分钟

   烹饪提示： Avoid overworking the dough to keep it tender.

6. 6

   Add the milk and mix until a cohesive dough forms.

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： Do not knead the dough excessively.

7. 7

   Divide the speculaas dough into two equal portions, wrap them in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   约 30分钟

   烹饪提示： Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and prevents spreading during baking.

8. 8

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

   约 10分钟

9. 9

   Lightly grease a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

   约 1分钟

10. 10

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the speculaas dough to fit the bottom of the prepared pan.

    约 3分钟

    烹饪提示： Aim for an even thickness.

11. 11

    Press the rolled dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.

    约 1分钟

12. 12

    Roll the almond paste into a square that fits on top of the bottom speculaas layer, leaving a small border.

    约 3分钟

    烹饪提示： You can also press it directly into shape in the pan.

13. 13

    Place the almond paste layer onto the bottom speculaas dough.

14. 14

    Roll out the second portion of speculaas dough to fit over the almond paste layer.

    约 3分钟

15. 15

    Carefully place the top speculaas dough over the almond paste and gently press down to seal the edges.

    约 1分钟

16. 16

    Whisk the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash.

    约 1分钟

17. 17

    Brush the top of the gevulde speculaas with the egg wash.

    约 1分钟

    烹饪提示： This gives it a beautiful golden shine.

18. 18

    Arrange the whole almonds decoratively on top of the egg-washed surface.

    约 1分钟

19. 19

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.

    约 30分钟

    烹饪提示： The exact baking time may vary by oven.

20. 20

    Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

    烹饪提示： Cooling is essential for the speculaas to set and prevent crumbling.
