What is hagelslag?
Hagelslag is a traditional Dutch bread topping made from small sprinkles. Chocolate varieties are known as chocoladehagel and commonly come in milk, dark and mixed chocolate options. Dutch stores also carry fruit-flavored sprinkles and other specialty varieties. Hagelslag is most often eaten at breakfast or lunch.
How do Dutch people eat hagelslag?
The classic way is simple: spread butter on a slice of bread or beschuit, then add a generous layer of hagelslag. The butter helps the sprinkles stay in place. It can also be served on toast, rolls or other breakfast breads.
Is hagelslag the same as regular sprinkles?
Hagelslag is commonly translated as Dutch sprinkles, but in the Netherlands it is primarily treated as a bread topping rather than only as cake decoration. The category includes chocolate, fruit and specialty varieties made specifically for the Dutch breakfast table.
