Prianik

Prianik is a Russian sweet bread or a cookie that is flavored with spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, and anise. It is often filled with various fruit jams and caramelized or condensed milk. The first prianik was made only with rye flour, honey, and berry juice, while the spices were added later, by the 15th century. Today, the sweet bread is typically served with tea or coffee and consumed as an afternoon snack.
