Christmas cakes from the BBQ (or klaaskoeken as they are called over here)

Maybe it is the last year in which the secret of Saint Nicholas will remain here. Time to spoil the kids a little extra and give the Saint atmosphere a kickstart. And what better way to do that than serve them a delicious BBQ klaaskoeken?

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • cinnamon powder to taste
  • 75 grams fresh yeast or 25 grams dry yeast
  • 100 grams of sugar
  • 1 kg flower1
  • 100 grams butter
  • 200 ml lukewarm milk
  • 200 ml lukewarm water
  • 12 grams of salt

Instructions

  • Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and set aside for 10 minutes so that the yeast can activate.
  • Add the flour to a mixing bowl and sprinkle the salt along the edge of the bowl. Make a hole in the middle where you then pour the activated yeast with the water.
  • Add 2 eggs, the sugar, milk, butter and cinnamon to taste and mix well. When it starts to stick, knead the dough firmly by hand (or food processor) for +-20 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.
  • Place the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel so that it can rise in an oven at 30°C for 45 minutes. Knead the dough again and let it rise for another 45 minutes under a damp towel.
  • Dust your table or worktop with flour and place the dough on top. Roll it out to +- a thickness of 1 cm and then cut out shapes. Carefully place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper and let them rise a third time for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime you can start up the BBQ so it can preheat at 220°C with indirect heat.
  • Beat the 3rd egg with a dash of milk and brush the clams with this porridge.
  • Bake the cookies on the BBQ for 15 minutes until they have a nice golden yellow color. Leave them to cool on a wire rack.
  • Eat the clams with a portion of fresh farm butter and a nice hot cup of chocolate milk so that the Sint magic can do its thing! Tasty
