Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer or by hand until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the golden syrup to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed or using a wooden spoon. The dough will begin to come together.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and knead lightly to form a soft but not sticky dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and leave the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to one week. Serve with tea or coffee for a classic British treat!
