Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F)
Sift all the flour, spice, and salt, adding the leftover wholewheat bits back in
Add the sugar and mix in the butter until you get a crumb-like texture
In a separate bowl mix the honey, bicarb, and water and when it fizzes add it to the mix.
Shape the dough into balls (it was quite dry and only just held together) and arrange spaced out on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet or baking paper,
Press each dough ball down with a fork - you should get around 20 biscuits. I went slightly bigger, so it's up to you
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes until a nice caramel colour and then remove and cool on a rack. Keep a close eye after 14 minutes as they can burn quite easily.
