Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 1/2 cup, firmly packed, brown sugar
- 1/2 cup golden syrup
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp all spice
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Use the Scraper beater in your Bakery Boss and slowly turn it up to CREAMING to beat the butter and sugar until it is pale and creamy.
- Change to the Flat Beater and then add in the golden syrup and egg yolk. Beat until combined.
- Once combined, reduce speed to FOLDING and add in the sifted flour, spices, ginger and bicarbonate of soda. Fold slowly until combined.
- Turn biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Press dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
- Roll dough out to about 2 cm thickness and cut shapes out. Place each biscuit on to the baking paper lined tray, leave about 3cm in between biscuits as they grow!
- Bake in oven for about 10-12 mins or until dark golden on edges. Cool on a wire rack.
