Biscuit aux quatre épices - cookie seasoned with quatre épices

Quatre épices is a spice blend used mainly in France, but also found in Middle Eastern kitchens. The name literally means "four spices"; the spice mix contains ground pepper (white, black, or both), cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Some variations of the mix use allspice instead of pepper, or cinnamon in place of ginger.^[1]

The blend of spices will typically use a larger proportion of pepper (usually white pepper) than the other spices, but some recipes suggest using roughly equal parts of each spice.

In French cooking, it is typically used in soup, ragout and pot-cooked dishes, vegetable preparations and charcuterie, such as paté, sausage and terrine.
