About the dish

Gemberbolus is a traditional pastry studded with ginger, also known as a ginger bun or ginger roll . It is made with candied ginger, milk, yeast, flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla, and butter. This pastry is believed to have been prepared during the time of Jewish influence on Dutch cuisine, and nowadays it can be found in numerous Dutch bakeries. Because it is very sticky, gemberbolus is traditionally baked and sold in an aluminum cup.
