Speculaas biscuit

Speculaas or speculoos is a biscuit with origins in the historical region of the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands). In the Dutch language, producers and vendors of these biscuits usually distinguish between two primary variants: speculaas [speːkyˈlaːs] refers to the more traditional variant, made with a mix of various spices, which is nowadays most popular in the Netherlands; speculoos [speːkyˈloːs] refers to a Belgian variant that omits the traditional spices in favour of caramelized sugar for flavour, and which is nowadays the most common variant in Belgium and worldwide. In common parlance these distinctions are not always made as strictly, with many Flemish people using the term speculoos to refer to both.
