In a large bowl, mix together the butter and demerara sugar until smooth and add the golden syrup.

smooth and without parts of butter . Cover with a plastic film and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 160C . On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to ½cm thickness.
Cut into ginger man shapes with biscuit cutters.
