Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before you start mixing the dough. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make the dough easier to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles. This will help to create clean edges.
  • If you don't have a pastry wheel, you can use a sharp knife to score the dough. This will help to prevent the dough from puffing up too much in the oven.
  • Bake the klettskopjes until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the klettskopjes cool before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.

Conclusion:

Klettskopjes are a delicious and easy-to-make Dutch treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual breakfast to a formal dinner party. With a little planning, you can make klettskopjes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
