Frisian Baking and Sweets

Specialised

SÛKERBÔLE — sugar bread, a rich wheat loaf studded with lumps of sugar that melt into pockets, eaten with butter, and a Frisian object rather than a Dutch one; FRYSKE DÚMKES, the little spiced anise-and-hazelnut "thumb" biscuits; ORANJEKOEK, the flat almond-paste cake with pink icing served at birthdays and jubilees; drabbelkoeken from Sneek; and the rye bread eaten with cheese and buttermilk.
