Ratibor gingerbread
Ratibor gingerbread ( Polish: Raciborskie pierniki , Silesian : Ratteborer Pfafferkucha ) are a traditionally handcrafted variant of gingerbread in different varieties that come from the Upper Silesian Ratibor (Racibórz). It differs in principle from other gingerbread and honey cake variants in that the basic dough is stored for longer and matured before baking. The Ratibor gingerbread was and is not a typical seasonal product. It is still produced all year round and sold in the town's pepper factories and at the regional markets.
