Ingredients

  • 200g plain four
  • 200g unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 75g sugar
  • 2tsp mixed spice
  • 1tsp ginger
  • 1tsp cinnamon

Method

  1. Mix the butter and flour together until it resemble a crumble mixture.

  2. Add the sugar, mixed spice, ginger, and cinnamon stir well.

  3. Add eggs and with a spatula or palette knife mix until the dough comes together.

  4. Once dough is together, mix with one hand til it comes to a ball and there and no bits left in the bottom and knead well on a lightly floured surface.

  5. Wrap up tightly in cling film before rolling out for it to rest. This allows the dough to harden up a bit and will stick less to the board when rolling.
