    Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/Gas5. Sift the flour and bicarb ino a bowl. Cream the butter and suga until light, then gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour and bicarb and the nuts. Form the dough into rolls about 1in in diameter, wrap them in clingfilm and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
    Stir the 5 tbsp of sugar and the cinamon together on a plate. Quickly roll walnut sized lumps of dough in your hands, rolling them in the cinnamon sugar afterwards. Place them on non-stick parchment paper or greased baking sheets, placing them about 2in apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown around the edges. Leave them on the baking tray for 1 minute before transferring to a rack to cool.
    Enjoy!
