Preparation

Add the flour to the spices and sugar and mix well. Add the diced, cold butter and work it into a crumbly dough by hand, as if you were working on pastry. Add the honey and mix well. Finally, add the egg and mix everything together until you have a smooth paste. Put the dough in cling film and let rest for at least an hour in the fridge. When the dough is nicely solidified, roll it out on a sheet of waxed paper and cut out shapes with the biscuit cutters of your choice. Remove the excess mix and place the biscuits in the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes until they become golden brown.

Tips
It is very important to work the dough for these biscuits fairly rapidly, then store it in the refrigerator until needed.
