Zeeuwse bolus
Sweet pastry
A Zeeuwse bolus (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈzeːusə ˈboːlʏs]) or Zeeuwse bolussen is a sweet pastry of Jewish origin from the Dutch province of Zeeland.[1] They are made by baking a white bread dough rolled in dark brown sugar in a spiral shape, lemon zest (rare and only in some parts of the region) and cinnamon.[2] The shape of a bolus differs between bakers. They are often eaten with coffee, and in some parts of the region the flatter underside is covered with butter.

There is also another kind of pastry that is sold under the name Bolus or boles in the Netherlands. These are ginger boles, made of dough filled with ginger, and orangeade boles filled with orangeade and almond meal flavoured with orange and almonds. These boles are a golden yellow colour and in a paper form. They have to be eaten with a spoon because the syrup makes them very sticky.
