1. 1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
2. 2. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for approx 10 minutes or until pale and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the syrup, flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and mixed spice and beat until a smooth dough forms. 
3. 3. Flatten the dough between two baking paper with around 1cm thickness (or the thickness of the biscuit your desired), place on top of a flat tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (you can place in fridge longer than this).

6. 6. Cool biscuits in a wire rack and serve with coffee or tea.
