De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes are an option if you’re looking for sugar-coated aniseed for small bakes and want to weigh out the amount yourself. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list a 270 g pack; the 6 g cited by Albert Heijn is a serving size, not a separate mini pack. Before using them, check that aniseed suits your recipe and look at the current packaging for information about wheat and gluten.
If you’re making small biscuits or mini cupcakes, you can weigh out the amount of crushed aniseed sprinkles you need for each batch. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 6 g for De Ruijter; this is a serving reference, not a fixed amount for every recipe.
Sugar-coated aniseed isn’t a neutral decoration. An Albert Heijn recipe for mini cupcakes uses crushed aniseed sprinkles in both the batter and the buttercream. For biscuits, choose an amount that suits your own recipe.
Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten. Check the packaging of the product you’re actually using if these ingredients are important to your choice.
For mini biscuits or cupcakes, first decide how much you want to use and whether the aniseed flavour should be in the bake or just on the outside. Then check the ingredients on the packaging.
