Gingerbread biscuits

This makes a couple dozen depending on size.

l25g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
90g brown sugar
3 tbsp molasses
1 egg, beaten
370g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Half tsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground mixed spice

Beat the butter with the sugar and molasses until light and well mixed. Add the egg, then fold in the flour and other dry ingredients, sifted together.

The mixture should come together easily. If it is too wet, add a little more flour; if it is too dry add more egg. Put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. Butter a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 5mm thick. Cut into your desired shapes and place on the prepared tray. Bake for l0- l5 mins, until slightly firm. Cool.
