Choose one pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you mainly want to use them as aniseed sprinkles for a baking session. Consider buying several packs if you want to spread them across several occasions and the number of packs and their use-by dates suit your plans. Don’t use them as a substitute for the basic ingredients in Dutch spiced biscuit dough. The product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo refers to De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack; if you’re buying a bundle, check the contents and label of each individual pack.
If you want to finish Dutch spiced biscuits or other bakes with sweet aniseed sprinkles, you could consider using De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as an addition. Albert Heijn describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as sugared aniseed, which can also be used for decoration. A Dutch spiced biscuit recipe from Sinterklaas.nl uses other ingredients for the dough, so keep the sprinkles separate from the recipe’s base ingredients.
If you’re planning to use them in several lunchboxes or for a number of baking sessions, the main things to consider are how much you want to use each time and how long you’ll need to store the packs. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack, with 45 servings of 6 g. This serving information can help with planning, but it isn’t a set amount for a lunchbox or recipe.
If you need to avoid wheat or gluten-containing ingredients, read the label on the pack you plan to use before buying. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g lists wheat starch and mentions wheat or gluten-containing cereals.
