Few festive treats have the fairytale magic of a gingerbread biscuit! To make, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Sift together 350g plain flour, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, 2 tsp ground ginger and 1 tsp ground cinnamon in a bowl. Rub in 125g of unsalted butter until it resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in 175g of light brown sugar. Beat together one large egg and 4 tbsp of golden syrup in a separate bowl, then add to the dry mix to form a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 15 to 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to 5mm thickness and cut out festive shapes of your choosing. Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool, then transfer them to a wire rack for decorating. Taking the biscuit
