Lotus Biscoff Copycat

INGREDIENTS

125g butter1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon honey/molasses/golden syrup (Our favourite is golden syrup) ¼ teaspoon salt 2 and ½ teaspoons cinnamon powder1 and ¼ teaspoon Robertsons mixed spice 1 tiny pinch fine white pepper¼ teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
1 egg
2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder

METHOD

Cream butter, sugar, spices and salt well.
Now add in egg. Beat well. Finally add in dry ingredients and make a soft dough, not sticky. You may add a tablespoon or two of flour if needed.
Roll out between two sheets of wax paper using a little flour as necessary. Cut into rectangles or use a rectangle cutter if available.  Alternately, roll into a log, wrap in Clingwrap and chill. Then slice into neat rounds/squares.
Now place on a greased cookie sheet, an inch apart. Bake in a hot, well preheated oven, 180°c for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remember, these are meant to be crispy.
Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight Tupperware.

INFO & TIPS

This comes very close to our memory of the original Biscoff.
Perhaps the secret ingredients are the cardamom and pepper, definitely don't omit!
Enjoy!
