1 level teaspoon

Directions:
In a saucepan melt butter and honey, let it cool.
In a bowl mix together flour, sugrar, bicarbonate of soda, mixed spice, zest. Add cooled melted butter and honey and lightly wisked up eggs.
Mix well into a smooth dough. If too sticky (depends on the size of the eggs used) add a little extra flour.
Cover with a cling film and let it rest in the fridge, best over night.
The next day roll it out on a floured surface (5mm thickness) and cut out shapes of your choice. Put on a tray and give them an eggwash.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 7minutes untill well risen and golden.
These look great. Can't wait to try them. Where do you get the spice mix?
To make Mixed spice you can look for any number of recipes online. The one that I use is 1 tbls Cinnamon, 1 tsp coriander, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp allspice and 1/4 tsp cloves (all ground spices) mix and store in an air-tight container--it's best if used within two months.
