Method Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan over a low heat. 100g Butter (unsalted) (room temperature) 100g Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (We use Billington's) 2 tbsp Golden syrup Sift the flour, ginger, mixed spice, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt together into a bowl, then tip in the melted butter mixture and gently stir to form a smooth dough. 175g Self-Raising White Flour (We use Allinson) 2 tsp Ginger (ground) ½ tsp Mixed spice (ground) ½ tsp Cinnamon (ground) ½ tsp Bicarbonate of soda Pinch Salt Place heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to baking sheets, about 3cm apart to allow room for them to spread.

It has a warm golden colour from its unrefined nature and is fine grained with a subtle buttery taste, making it perfect for deliciously light sponges, shortbread and macaroons. 2 tbsp Golden syrup 175g Self-Raising White Flour (We use Allinson) Self-raising white flour is ideal for cakes, cookies and muffins, where a light and airy texture is required.
