“Thanks to the intense spices, the bread has a long shelf life. It’s an old Polish tradition to bake piernik to welcome the birth of a baby girl. The loaf is then buried underground to preserve it. The bread would be brought out and eaten at the girl’s wedding. These days, this is not recommended. ½ cup of soft butter 1-½ cups honey, warmed in a pan or in the microwave 1-¾ cups of sugar 1 tablespoon ginger 1 teaspoon cloves 3 to 3-½ cups flour ½ cup of vegetable oil 6 eggs, separated... 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 cup of dark beer 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 cups of dried fruits and nuts: raisins, candied orange peel, walnuts, dried apricots, dates, etc. Beat together the butter, oil and warm honey.
