The Billy Lids

Ingredients:

• 360 g Unsalted butter
• 420 g Caster sugar
• 600 g Golden syrup
• 2 Tsp Cinnamon
• 2 ½ Tsp Ground ginger
• 1 ½ Tsp Ground nutmeg
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 2 Tsp Bi-Carb Soda
• 1240 g Plain flour

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Stir Carefully until thoroughly incorporated.

2. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Pour into electric mixing bowl. Meanwhile, sift the combined spices, salt and soda into the mix and stir well. Using the dough hook on the mixer, start adding the flour about 1 cup at a time. Use a medium setting until well combined.

3. Remove from bowl, split the dough in half, wrap the excess in plastic wrap and put aside.

4. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough to about 8mm thick, use cookie cutters for festive shaped biscuits. If using a template, cut out carefully with a sharp knife, gently place on trays covered in baking paper and bake at 180c for approximately 10-20 minutes, depending on the size.
