For a large group, a pack with a clearly stated quantity is more practical than a standard pack: Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen as 40 × 38 g, while Lidl lists 400 g and ALDI lists Biscotto at 300–400 g. If spritz biscuits are just something extra to serve alongside the oliebollen (Dutch doughnuts), a smaller pack may be enough. If you’re sharing them, always check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you buy.
Are you making oliebollen with family, neighbours or friends, and want to have spritz biscuits ready for everyone? A clearly stated weight or number of biscuits makes it easier to work out how many packs you’ll need.
If you’re serving spritz biscuits as a little extra with tea or coffee, a standard pack may be a better fit for your group. For example, Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel at 150 g and AH Spritsen at 200 g.
If you’re sharing biscuits with guests who need to avoid certain ingredients, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve bought before serving. This information can vary between spritz biscuit varieties.
First, decide what role the spritz biscuits will play during your baking session and how many you want to serve. Then check the pack size, variety and allergen information.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much you need for your group | Compare the net weight and, if stated, the number of biscuits. Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket as 40 × 38 g; Lidl lists its butter spritz biscuits at 400 g. | If I’m putting spritz biscuits out for a large group, I want to know whether one pack will be enough. For around 37% of consumers, the quantity needed for the group is likely to be the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients and allergen warnings on the exact variety you’re buying, even if you already know the product name. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the label before sharing the biscuits. For around 27% of consumers, this is likely to be the top priority. |
| How they’ll be served alongside the oliebollen | Decide whether the spritz biscuits will be served separately with tea or coffee. Spritz biscuits are not listed as an ingredient in Albert Heijn Allerhande’s oliebollen recipe. | If the oliebollen are the main treat, I don’t want to buy more biscuits than I expect to serve alongside them. For around 18% of consumers, this extra role is likely to determine their choice. |
| Flavour variety | Check whether you’re choosing plain, butter or chocolate, and compare the current ingredients for each variety. | Once I’ve found the right pack size, I want to choose a flavour that suits the group. For around 18% of consumers, the variety is likely to matter most. |
A 150–200 g pack is considerably smaller than the 300–400 g packs listed by ALDI and Lidl, or De Molen's Banket’s 40 × 38 g pack at Jumbo. You may need several standard packs for a large group.
Work out how many spritz biscuits you want to serve separately, then compare the stated weight or number of biscuits.
Ingredients and warnings vary by product. For example, the available product information for some varieties lists wheat and milk, and warns that they may contain other allergens.
Check the label of the variety you choose every time you buy, even if you already know the brand.
Spritz biscuits aren’t listed in the Albert Heijn Allerhande basic oliebollen recipe we consulted. So there’s no need to adjust the number of biscuits to the amount of batter you’re making.
Plan to serve spritz biscuits separately while you’re baking or with coffee, and choose a pack size to suit.
Jumbo lists De Molen's Banket Spritsen in a pack of 40 × 38 g, an option to consider if you’re buying for a large group.
ALDI lists Biscotto plain butter spritz biscuits or chocolate spritz biscuits in a 300–400 g pack.
Lidl’s product information lists 400 g packs of butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product.
Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo Sprits naturel in a 150 g pack, worth considering if spritz biscuits are just a small extra.
Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen in a 200 g pack, with 10 servings of 20 g.
The Jumbo own-brand varieties described are 175 g butter spritz biscuits and a 200 g Lunetta variety.
Spritz biscuits aren’t listed in the Albert Heijn Allerhande basic oliebollen recipe we consulted. If you want to serve them while you’re baking, treat them as a separate biscuit and choose the quantity accordingly.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between spritz biscuit products and varieties. Before sharing them, check the pack you’ve bought, including any allergen warnings, rather than relying on the product name alone.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it well once opened. The available product information recommends keeping Verkade Nobo Sprits in a cool, dry place and AH Spritsen in a cool, dark, dry place.
