Pierniczki (Gingerbreads) from Poland
Ingredients:
1 kg flour
600g butter
2 egg yolks
1 cup icing sugar
1 packet vanila sugar (15g) - if you can’t buy it in your country you can add a little more sugar and a
teaspoon of vanilla essence.
1/2 gingerbread spice (ground ginger, clove and cinnamon- altogether about 1-2 tablespoons)
Method:
Cream the butter with icing sugar, vanila sugar, egg yolks and the gingerbread seasoning. Slowly
add flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth. Refrigerate the dough for an hour and then
roll out it and cut the shapes with the cake forms (or just by hand).
Bake the gingerbread cookies for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees.
After baking you can decorate them with coloured icing or melted chocolate.
SMACZNEGO!!! ENJOY YOUR GINGERBREADS!!!
