Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and beat together.

Add the golden syrup, ginger, cinnamon, all spice, baking soda and salt and beat together.

Add 112 g (a cup) of flour at a time, beating until just combined.

The dough will come together but will be rather soft. Do not add more flour or overwork the dough.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 2 - 3 mm thick.

Using a gingerbread cookie cutter, cut shapes and place on the baking tray.

Refrigerate again for 20 minutes.

Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the tray and allow to cool completely.

Place a gingerbread biscuit into each cupcake.

A fun treat to make with the kids!
