Method

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine the honey, butter, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to a gentle boil on a medium heat. Then, lower the heat and add in your baking soda and stir constantly for one to two minutes until combined and the mixture has increased in volume.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk the egg and sugar in a separate bowl. Then slowly add the honey mixture to the eggs. Whisk until combined.

Step 3

Sift in your flour to the mixture, fold in with a spatula and begin to knead the dough for a couple of minutes using the spatula.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in clingfilm and leave to chill in a fridge for a minimum of two hours, this recipe recommends chilling your dough overnight.

Step 5

Remove your dough from the fridge, cut in half and begin to roll out that half with a rolling pin. Roll the dough out onto parchment or on a silicone tray. Use cookie cutters to create your cookie shapes. Bake for eight minutes at 180C and leave to cool!
