Piparkūkas | Gingerbread Cookie Recipe | Latvian Recipes |

Welcome to Ela's Yummy Food. Today I'll show you how to make piparkūkas. Piparkūkas in Latvian mean gingerbread cookies and they're so delicious. My favorite childhood treat and every single family in Latvia will buy them in bulk. We actually have so many variations in supermarkets selling those. So I will share this recipe with you. I hope you enjoy it and let's get started. We're going to need plain flour, sugar, golden syrup, baking soda, butter. I've got eggs, ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. And I've got a lot of different shapes to cut my cookies from. Add your golden syrup into your small pan. Add all your spices into your golden syrup and mix that in. Into a bowl add two eggs, sugar. Whisk it until it's combined. So put your golden syrup with all the spices inside. Add your butter. In a small bowl add half a teaspoon of your bicarb soda. and then add hot water mix that in add your eggs and sugar then add your bicarb soda with water now we're going to add flour a little bit at a time dough is done place it on a floured surface and we're just gonna knead it a little bit more just to make sure it's nice and incorporated um i've added a bit more flour so just keep adding until the dough is nice and easy to work with now we're gonna put some cling film on top of our dough and that goes into the fridge for about 24 hours I have taken my dough out of the fridge and I let it sit at a room temperature for about one hour now we're gonna work with half of the dough at a time I've got different shapes and figures for my gingerbread cookies and so just cut them out brush each cookie with your egg wash place your icing into a piping bag decorate your ginger cookies with your icing however you like it. I like to just go around each cookie.
