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.
