Honey Biscuits

Ingredients:
1lb self-raising flour
1 heaped dessertspoon of cocoa powder
3/4 lb sugar
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
3 drops of lemon essence (or brandy / rum)
approximately 1/2lb of honey
2 eggs
5 dessertspoons of milk
1/4lb butter
1/4lb ground hazelnuts (optional)

Method:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, spices and cocoa powder. Make a hole in the middle, add the honey, eggs, milk and lemon essence. Mix to a dough, gradually adding the butter until mixed completely (I like to use my hands but it can be a bit messy). Add the hazelnuts, and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes (this is an excellent recipe for Christmas shapes). Bake for 15-20 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Cool and dust with icing sugar or decorate with icing.
