When autumn starts (or mid-summer for some supermarkets) in the Netherlands everyone gets ready for Sinterklaas. One of the typical Dutch sweets around that time is speculaas. I love to eat it along with of course my all time favourite marzipan. One of the things which I love about this waffle recipe is how easy it is. Just grind store-bought speculaas and mix in an egg to combine it into a delicious waffle perfect for dessert.
