Brandy Snaps

 

INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup together over low heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and ginger.
  4. Add the brandy to the butter and sugar mixture.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
  6. Spoon teaspoon-sized dollops onto baking paper. The mixture will spread completely into large, flat circles. I recommend baking no more than 3 at a time, otherwise they will harden too quickly as they cool.
  7. Bake for about 8 minutes until golden brown and lace-like. They will appear even more lace-like once cooled.
  8. Let them stand for about 1 minute.
  9. Quickly roll them around the handle of a wooden spoon while still warm.

THE BIG SECRET:

  • They need to be a deep golden brown for that crisp “snap.”
  • Work quickly when rolling them.
  • If they become too hard, place them back in the oven for a few seconds to soften.
