BreadLab - Dutch Recipes; pepernoten

Every year around the middle of November Sinterklaas is coming to The Netherlands, bringing lots of gifts and candy. This predecessor of good old Santa is still going strong in these parts of the world, even if his helpers are a bit dubious...The tradition comes with lots of baked goods, one of the more popular being "pepernoten", a cookie like kind of confectionery. They are often mistaken for "kruidnootjes", a smaller and "browner" version. In this video there are recipes for both varieties.BreadLab found an ancient recipe, involving a rising agent that not many of us avid home bakers have worked with; Hartshorn salt (ammonia carbonate). Originally harvested from deer's antlers. Nowadays there is a lab version available, sometimes referred to as "baker's ammonia", amongst others available at King Arthur Flours.Whatever version you pick; they will be a great success and make original gifts, especially in the holiday season.Visit http://www.breadlab.eu for a more detailed recipe

@freerkbos we use a Canon 5d mkII Slr camera to film our clips which is also a very good film camera.

Thank you so much! Can I ask what camera you are using? My old and trusty Sony is giving up on me and my "on the go" Lumix isn't good enough. Your image looks very crisp!

We love the creativity of your video, especially the animated dough part.
