To make the Biscuit DoughBeat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, add the golden syrup and mix well. Sift together the dry ingredients and fold into the butter mixture, mixing to form a soft dough. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 10 minutes or until chilled and the dough is firm. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper. Using a gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out 12 men and arrange 1 cm apart on the baking tray. |
