#pfeffernusse — Public Fediverse posts

Stale #pfeffernüsse cookies are one of my favorite things. When they're almost hard as rocks, the flavor gets concentrated, and they're extremely dunkable in a hot beverage such as hot cocoa. So I buy them at Lidl at the beginning of December, and aroundthe end of January they're perfect. Right now they're a bit too soft still.

#FiXatoCommentsOn B. Dylan Hollis' #Pfeffernüsse recipe:

In the Netherlands these 'kruidnoten' (literally: spice nuts), as they are called in Dutch, are still a traditional treat around St. Nicholas Day, 5th/6th of December. (Though I've yet to see them with an icing coating; white, milk, dark chocolate coatings however, are common; and tasty!). They usually already arrive in shops around September/October though.
Though they are colloquially also known as 'pepernoten' (literally: pepper nuts), those are technically a different treat; where kruidnoten are small and crispy, pepernoten are bigger and more chewy. As wikipedia describes it: "They are light brown, square shaped, and made from the same ingredients as taai-taai : rye flour, sugar and anise, and sometimes also cinnamon, and clove. They are fairly chewy, though they harden gradually when exposed to the air."

You should find a recipe for taai-taai (pronounced similar to 'Thai Thai', I guess); you might find that interesting to make and taste too.
