For oliebollen, you can measure crushed aniseed sprinkles from a regular pack to suit your recipe, whether you’re adding them to the dough or using them as a topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack; if you’re looking for individually wrapped mini portions, check the packaging of a smaller variant separately. Also read the label on the pack you buy: the listed ingredients include wheat starch.
If you only need a small amount for each batch, you can measure it out from a regular pack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes with a net weight of 270 g; the 6 g serving size shown in Albert Heijn’s nutritional information is not a separate sachet.
If you’d rather add the aniseed flavour after baking, work out how much you need for sprinkling. Boodschappen.nl describes an oliebol recipe that also uses crushed aniseed sprinkles as a topping.
For you, the ingredients list matters more than the portion size. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat starch and identify wheat and gluten-containing cereals in the allergen information for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the label on the pack you buy.
Choose the pack format based on how much you want to measure out, but take your recipe and the ingredients list into account before buying crushed aniseed sprinkles for oliebollen.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the net weight and whether the pack actually contains individual portions. A serving size in the nutritional information doesn’t tell you how the product is packaged. | If you only use a little for each batch, don’t assume that a serving size in the nutritional information means there are mini sachets inside. For around 40% of consumers, checking portion sizes comes first. |
| How you’ll use it in the recipe | Decide whether you’ll add the sprinkles to the dough, use them as a topping or do both; adjust the amount to suit your chosen recipe. | If you want to mix the aniseed flavour into the dough or add it after baking, choose based on how you plan to use it. That’s the main concern for around 40% of consumers. |
| Wheat and gluten | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the label of the pack you buy. | If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, the label will determine whether this product is suitable for you. For around 20% of consumers, checking this is the top priority. |
Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 6 g for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. This doesn’t mean the pack contains individual portion sachets.
If you specifically want small, individually wrapped portions, check both the net weight and the packaging format.
Crushed aniseed sprinkles contain sugar and aniseed, so they give oliebollen a different flavour. In one specific recipe, Boodschappen.nl uses two tablespoons of crushed aniseed sprinkles instead of sugar in the dough; this amount isn’t a guide for every recipe.
Decide in advance whether you want to add them to the dough or use them as a topping, and follow the quantities in your chosen recipe.
