Gdańskie brukowce

• Gdańskie brukowce – means cobblestones from Gdańsk.
• These are a form or pierniki  – honey spice cakes – that I have not come across before.
• There are soft bits and crunchy bits.
• They have been baked by the Pellowski bakery, established in 1922, to a secret recipe but the ingredients are stated on the packaging – including:
• rye flour
• sugar
• golden syrup
• vegetable fats
• Polish plum jam
• cocoa
• spices – (inc – cinnamon and cloves) 
• lemon juice.

They are rather like piernik – chopped up, mixed with cocoa or chocolate and Polish plum jam – powidło – and coated with a sugar glaze.

If you get the chance to try them do so – they are delicious.

I do not think I can recreate this recipe but  here below are links to my previous piernik recipes.

They were originally baked for the St Dominic’s fair – Jarmark Dominika – which takes place at the end of July and the beginning of August.
