1.
For the biscuits: sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir in the sugar, egg, syrup and vanilla and mix well to form a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
3.
Heat the oven to 160°C (140° fan) 325°F gas 3. Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
4.
Roll out the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1cm|1/2". Using a cookie cutter or card template, cut 'mummy' shapes out of the dough and place on the baking tray.
5.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Cool on the baking trays for a few minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

To decorate: gently warm the jam until melted. Brush over the biscuits.
