Brandy Snaps
INGREDIENTS:
- ⅓ cup butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup golden syrup
- ⅓ cup cake flour
- ½ tsp ginger
- 1 tsp Golden Delicious Apple Spirit
- ¼ tsp salt
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup together over low heat.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour and ginger.
- Add the brandy to the butter and sugar mixture.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- 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.
- Bake for about 8 minutes until golden brown and lace-like. They will appear even more lace-like once cooled.
- Let them stand for about 1 minute.
- 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.
