Beat the egg and syrup together lightly, add to the flour mixture and pulse until the dough clumps together. Tip out, knead briefly until smooth, wrap in Clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a well floured surface (this is very important to ensure dough does stick to surface when transferring them.) until its 5mm thick.
