To burn it off
Banketstaaf is the Dutch log of puff pastry filled with almond paste, sold everywhere in the Netherlands from November for Sinterklaas. Shaped as a letter it is a banketletter; if you have Dutch friends, it is what they bring to your door in December.
A piece is about 230 kcal, with 25 g of carbs, 4 g of protein and 13 g of fat. Butter in the pastry and almonds in the paste, so it is rich.
The whole log is meant to be shared over coffee. Cut it thin and it lasts the evening.
Tips
- 1Cut thin slices. A half slice is about 115 and you still get the almond paste.
- 2Have it with black coffee instead of hot chocolate. That keeps 200 off the table.
