Mix the flour and spices together in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub the mixture thoroughly. Add the brown sugar.

In another bowl, mix the syrup, milk and egg yolk and add it to your mixture. Stir until you have a smooth paste.

Bake at a medium heat for 10 or 12 minutes, until biscuits are golden. Leave to cool on a cooling rack.
