These Dutch spice cookies are traditionally moulded in carved wooden boards and unmoulded before baking. Because they reflect the design of the moulds, they got their name from the Latin word “Speculum or looking glass”. This recipe for an easier rolled version has the same memorable flavour. They are so pretty added to a holiday cookie tray.

Yes, wholegrain pancakes can be fluffy, tender and tasty. Letting the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking your pancakes allows the whole wheat flour and oats to absorb the liquid, which keeps the batter light and delicate. I usually prefer regular rolled oats in baking because they hold their shape and texture, but quick-cooking oats work equally well here because they soak up the liquid quickly and still make a fluffy pancake.
