Yeast,Helen.I hope you would make them less sticky than they sell them in the shops. Make it a real work of art.

And you are right; many Dutch words that have a long history are very similar to English.That's why old traditional recipes will all be fairly readable to you.
Only the cinnamon = kaneel has a sound-change.

cinnamon
c.1390, from Gk. kinnamomon, from Phoenician word akin to Heb. qinnamon. Stripped from the bark of a tree in the avocado family. Ceylon cinnamon, the true cinnamon, is used in Britain, but American cinnamon is almost always from the related cassia tree of Southeast Asia and is stronger and sweeter.
