Hi, welcome to Jovie’s Home!
Editor Daan is here with us today to make Gevulde Koek. We hope you enjoy this silly, relaxing, and fun video where we just hang out and have fun!
Ingrediënten/Ingredients
400 g tarwebloem/flour
200 g witte basterdsuiker/white sugar
1 mespunt zout/pinch of salt
250 g ongezouten roomboter (koud)/ cold unsalted butter
2 el kraanwater (koud)/ teaspoons of cold water
200 g amandelspijs / almond paste
1 citroen (schoongeboend) / lemon (peel only)
2 middelgrote eieren / middle size eggs
12 garneeramandelen / almonds for garnishing
Sift the flour over a bowl and mix in the caster sugar and the salt. Cut the butter into cubes and add with the cold water. Knead quickly into a ball. Pack in cling film and let it rest for 1 hour in a cool place outside the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Put the almond paste in a bowl. Grate the yellow zest of the lemon above it. Mix in half the eggs. Knead to an even mass and spin 12 balls.
Dust the work surface with some flour. Use the rolling pin to roll out half of the dough into a 2 mm thick piece. Cut out 12 circles with the cut-out mold and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place a ball of almond paste on each round and press a little flat.
Beat the rest of the egg in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the dough grounds around the food.
Also roll the other half of the dough into a 2 mm thick piece and cut out 12 more rounds. Place the circles on the dough pieces with food and press the edges. Brush the top of the cakes with the egg and place an almond on each cake. Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown and done.
Storage Tip:
You can make the filled cookies 2 days in advance. Covered, they can be kept for around 3 days.

My name is Jovie and I am an American Expat Mama living in and LOVING The Netherlands. On Tuesdays On Tuesdays I make educational videos about aspects of Dutch life in English. On Thursdays, I post a random video – anything and everything from cleaning and organizing to cooking and talking about mom-related issues.
My goal is to help people who are new to The Netherlands navigate different aspects of the Dutch system. I also enjoy sharing my love of The Netherlands with Dutch viewers and chatting with you in the comments about this great little country.
Won’t you come on over, kick off your shoes and stay a while?

Minimal. So gorgeous.
they looked fantastic! you can also add cookie spices for speculaas and put that through the batter. it tastes even better in my opinion. I think it is amazing that you make these typical dutch recipes because the dutch cuisine isn’t really eccentric in my opinion. keep up the great work!!
PS: One other little thing:
I think that “schoongeboend” (referring to the “citroen” in the recipe underneath the video) means literally something like “cleanly polished”. So I think you are simply advised in this recipe to wash the lemon (especially if it has not been grown organically).
I’m sure you did that anyway (if necessary) but it seems as if you translated “schoongeboend” to “peel only” whereas in the Dutch version of the recipe it only tells you further down in the instructive paragraph which part of the cleaned lemon is needed…
Those bottom layers looked like at least 5mm. An inch being 25.4mm means 2mm is less than 1/10th inch. 5mm is about 1/5th
“pick” is another word, pik and lul mean the same thing :p
I will be the first to say that you are far too young and beautiful for anyone to think you have a teenage son!
Hi Jovie, I like your videos a lot.
I’m a little confused about the measurements referring to tap water in this video, though.
2 El it says on the Dutch side, which I think means 2 “Eetlepels”. These are the bigger spoons I think you would for example use when eating a soup.
But then on the English side (in the description beneath the video) this is transferred to 2 teaspoons, – which in my perception are the smaller spoons you would use when stirring a cup of tea.
It’s probably not that important and since I’m neither Dutch nor English I might be mistaken… But I thought I’d mention it anyway…
And: great video, so far, anyway.
I loved how you reacted to Daan’s indecisive look and hesitant answer that yes, he HAD washed his hands… At some point 😉
Keep up the good work and the good humour !
@ 10:05 Although you are not mother and son, you definitely both behave like you are 😀 :D. The ‘gevulde koeken’ look yummie!
So funny that even Daan isn’t pronouncing his own name correctly
You cannot complain if your cookies draw people to your door 🙂
They deliver cars to your house in the Netherlands? What a fantastic thing. Love watching you two cook.
You both are so sweet and funny… I was so concentrated on your dialogue and your jokes I missed the whole recipe 😀
From Australia here and currently learning Dutch. I love watching your videos Jovie and Daan! You’ve helped me learn so much about Dutch culture and expat life in the Netherlands. I plan to move there next year to live with my Dutch boyfriend. I was nervous moving half the world away but now I’m so excited and much more confident. Thank you! x
haha I love Daan eating the dough-so funny
Why not gevoelde koeken and snert in the same video?
Btw….really funny video. !!!
F.Y.I. in your next video, there is a difference between “Erwtensoep” and “Snert” :
Erwtensoep is split pea soup
and is also made in other countries.
Snert is also made with split peas BUT when snert cools down, you can turn the pot upside down and the snert will remain in the pot (when made correctly), any normal soup will drop from your pot, only when you heat up your snert again it will become a “liquid” again.
Looking forward though.
I’m watching it from South Korea, I need to learn Dutch and it’s helpful. Thank you for making these fun and educational videos~
Those gevulde koeken looked great. I can’t wait for the snert video tho. Snert is my favorite as well! It’s the perfect winter treat paired with some toast or roggebrood
I had to laugh at the amount of times Daan was rolling out the dough. He is realy meticulous. It was such fun to watch the two of you! I also noticed that Daan is realy fond of coocky dough ;-). I realy like your vlogs, keep it up!
your cookies look just like the picture future Daan inserted lol
I thought pee soup sounded funny
Can’t wait to watch next video.

First
Gevulde koeken are called “Almond Rounds” in Australia. I will follow this recipe nevertheless 😉 Just the short form of Richard sound like Dik in Dutch but that means obese. I better stop this line like William which sounds like bil in Dutch. My contribution of what sounds funny in Dutch 🙂

Hmmm again. still pondering on making that apple . I loved batter when I was I child ,mostly cake batter and we used a flessenlikker to scrape and lick that why it’s called a flessenlikker , not a scraper.
So funny that even Daan isn’t pronouncing his own name correctly
Thankyou Cath, I will be definitely make it. I’ll have 2 make it just for me. Sue xx
Looks so tasty! I’ll have to surprise my Dutch boyfriend with a batch of these sometime 🙂
‘maaken’ is actually with one ‘a’ XD
no hygiene
hair was not washed or combed in years

I made pizza dough some time ago and I told my 4 year old son the dough had to rest. Next, my husband came downstairs and wanted to tell me something. But my son was like: Sssssssssht, daddy, the dough is resting!!!
“pick” is another word, pik and lul mean the same thing :p
I mostly remember gevulde koeken from high school. Where they were sold in the kantine. Just like the roze koeken (also really Dutch).
Awesome that you’re already making so much money as a YouTuber that you can buy a new car!
Remember when cooking snert: it’s only snert if your spoon or ladle can stand straight up in the pan. Even when the snert is warm.
