Notes
Combine spices and sift to combine well. When well-mixed store in an airtight container.
If you have a good spice grinder start with whole spices, roast and grind to a powder. This gives a more intense flavour to the spices.
To make the biscuits really crisp, turn the oven off and let it cool down a little. Put the biscuits back into the oven while it is still warm and leave them there until completely cool. They don’t need to be in a single layer, piled on top of each other is fine.
If the biscuits go a little soggy, return to the oven to crisp up again.
We have used Demerara sugar and Rice Malt Syrup but if you don’t have these in your freezer you can substitute brown sugar and golden syrup.
Makes approx 16 cookies - depending on your cutter size
