Ginger Stars

1. in a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter in maple syrup. Meanwhile, place cinnamon, sugar, cardamom, ginger and cloves in a large bowl. Fold in the liquid butter-syrup mixture with the whisk of a mixer. Add the water as you go. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Sift the flour and baking powder on top. Beat with the dough hook of the mixer until a smooth dough is formed. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge for about 24 hours. 3.

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (convection oven 150 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Knead the dough repeatedly on a floured surface. Now roll out to a thickness of about 3 mm.

Cut out stars close together and place them on the baking tray. 4.
