8 Letterbanket is a flaky Dutch pastry that is typically made with a combination of flour, butter, and eggs. The pastry is shaped into letters, filled with almond paste, and dusted with sugar.

These sweet treats are traditionally served on December 5, known as Sinterklaasavond.
7 Moorkop is a decadent Dutch dessert consisting of a choux pastry that is filled with whipped cream and glazed with chocolate. The dessert is finished by topping it with some more whipped cream and, optionally, pieces of fruit such as pineapple or tangerine.
6 Bossche bol is a Dutch specialty from s'Hertogenbosch: a traditional, chocolate-coated, whipped cream-filled pastry. These pastry balls are characterized by their large size, which is why they are often served with forks, knives, and a number of napkins to clean the inevitable mess made while consuming them.
5 Nonnevot is a unique pastry originating from Limburg, dating back to at least the 17th century. The dough is prepared with flour, yeast, milk, salt, butter, lard, and brown sugar. It is then deep-fried until it develops a golden-brown color. Although nonnevot has traditionally been associated with the carnival, today it can be bought in many regional bakeries.
4 Zeeuwse bolus is a sweet Dutch pastry that is quite similar to the famous cinnamon roll. Best consumed warm, the sticky, gooey, and tender bolussen consist of flour, milk, salt, sugar, yeast, and butter. They are traditionally flavored with a combination of dark brown sugar and ground cinnamon, which melts nicely when these treats are baked.

2 A traditional, sweet Dutch pastry known as appelflap consists of pastry dough that is filled with apples, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon. The dessert is traditionally covered with sugar granules on top. It can be found throughout the country in numerous bakeries or places where coffee and tea are served.
The crispy appelflap is also often served for breakfast as a hot and tasty treat
1. Oliebol is a traditional Dutch and Belgian snack that can be literally translated as oily ball. The dough, which is deep-fried in hot oil, is made with flour, eggs, yeast, milk, and baking powder.
