Here are some photos from the making of pierniki in Toruń, Poland, 2024. When I look at these pictures, I can almost smell the gingerbread. The recipe is quite simple, you need:

  • honey
  • cinnamon
  • pepper
  • nutmeg
  • ginger
  • cloves
  • flour

and then you mix it all together and bake it 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Oh, and if you happen to be in Toruń, you should definitely visit The Living Museum of Gingerbreads. It’s a great place to learn about the history of gingerbread and see how it’s made. Enjoy!
