Preheat oven to 190°C. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl before adding the bicarbonate of soda and the spices. Mix thoroughly.

Rub in the butter using the tips of your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and set aside.

Beat the golden syrup into the egg before stirring into the flour mixture.

Bring your dough together in the bowl before removing to a work surface. Flour your work surface and knead your dough until smooth.

Roll out your dough until it is half a cm thick. Flour your cutters and stamp out your desired shapes.

Place onto a non-stick baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Your biscuits may seem a little soft but will firm up as they cool.

Remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before decorating.
