  • 1 cube butter or margarine
  • 1 egg yolk (needed for the top)

  4. Note: For those of you wondering, Yes – we are aware that the word “flour” is misspelled as “flower” above. We chose to leave it this way in respect of the original Dutch recipe. Dutch word for flour is bloem, which also means flower.
