Steps

12 minutes

1

Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2

Cream the margarine and sugar together until light
3

Mix the flour and mixed spice together
4

Stir into the creamed mixture with the currants
5

Add the saffron threads to the warm milk and stir to release the colour
6

Add just enough to the cookie mixture to bring together to form a soft dough, around 50ml for plain flour, the whole lot for gluten-free
7

Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the dough quite thinly
8

Use a 7 - 8 cm fluted cookie cutter to cut out rounds and place on the baking sheet. Re-roll the dough and cut more rounds until the dough is used up. I got 20 rounds from a 7"cutter, 18 from an 8" one
9

Bake for 8 minutes then take out of the oven, brush with some extra coconut milk and sprinkle with extra sugar and put back in the oven for 4 minutes
10

Let cool on a wire rack before serving
