Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a baking sheet.
-
Beat butter, castor sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, then slowly add the beaten egg.
-
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and mixed spice, then stir this mixture into the butter and egg mixture.
-
Roll half the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, transfer to a baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining dough; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
Cut the chilled dough with a cookie cutter, gathering and rerolling scraps as needed until all dough is used.
-
Place biscuits in batches on the prepared baking sheets, keeping any unbaked dough cold in the refrigerator.
-
Bake each batch for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the soft biscuits from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack until hardened.
