Method

• 1.
  Using electric beaters, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and honey and beat to combine, then sift in flour and spices and, using a metal spoon, stir to form a dough. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• 2.
  Preheat the oven to 190°C and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
• 3.
  Remove dough from fridge and allow to soften slightly. Halve, then place 1 half between 2 layers of plastic wrap and roll out until 8mm thick. Remove wrap. Use a turtle-dove-shaped cutter (or other decorative cutter) to cut biscuits. Place on baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 7 minutes until golden.
• 4.
  Cool and store in an airtight container. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
