Common mistakes
-
Thinking of crushed aniseed sprinkles as a complete film-night snack
They’re sugar-coated aniseed seeds, usually used as a spread, topping or ingredient. For a snack to share, you’ll generally need something to serve them on or in.
Choose how you’ll serve them before buying, such as with rusks or yoghurt, or allow time if you plan to bake with them.
A baking recipe also takes extra ingredients and preparation time.
-
Skipping the label because they’re only sprinkles
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat starch in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Albert Heijn also states that they contain 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you buy; the recipe may change.
