In a medium heavy-based pan, combine the butter, golden syrup, brown sugar, and caster sugar. Stir over low heat until the butter has completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then allow to cool for 5 minutes.

With a fork floured in regular or gluten-free flour, gently flatten each ball to a thickness of about 1 cm (just under 1/2 inch).

Preheat your oven and bake at a temperature between 450°F and 475°F (230°C to 235°C) or Gas Mark 6 for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
