Ingredients:
350g plain flour (sifted)
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
100g butter (at room temperature)
175g soft brown sugar
1 egg
4 tbsp golden syrup
Methods:-
- Mix together the flour, spices and bicarbonate of soda.
- Rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar.
- In a separate bowl mix together the egg and golden syrup then add to the dry ingredients.
- Mix together until it forms a dough. Tip out onto a clean, floured work surface and knead for a minute or two until it is smooth.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- Roll out the dough to the depth of a pencil (approx 5mm) and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. If you want to hang them on tree remember to use a straw to punch a hole in the top.
- Lay the biscuits on a greased baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Re-cut the hole in the top if it has closed up and leave on the baking tray until cool. Ice, thread with ribbon and hang on the Christmas tree.
