Beat butter and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in the golden syrup and egg yolk.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced). Grease and line two oven trays with baking paper.

For icing, lightly beat egg white and lemon juice in a small electric mixer. Gradually beat in sifted icing sugar until firm peaks form.
