Step 1 of 6
Place butter, sugar and golden syrup in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until creamy. Add egg and mix until well combined.

Gently fold in the flour, almond meal, bicarbonate of soda and spices until a dough has formed. Fold in currants. Shape into a flattened ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3 of 6
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Roll the dough out onto a floured surface to 5mm thickness. Using various sized star shaped cutters, cut shapes and transfer to lined oven trays. Re-roll the dough offcuts until all has been used.
