Baking Recipes - Brandy Snaps Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 35

  • 125 g/4 oz butter

  • 125 g/4 oz demerara sugar

  • 125 g/4 oz golden syrup

  • 125 g/4 oz plain flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Method:

  1. Put the butter, sugar and syrup into a saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved. Cool slightly, then sift in the flour and ginger and beat well.

  2. Place teaspoonfuls of the mixture on a greased baking sheet at least 10 cm/4 inches apart.

  3. Bake in a preheated oven, 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 4, for 10-12 minutes. Leave to cool slightly then remove with a palette knife and roll round the greased handle of a wooden spoon.

  4. Leave for 1-2 minutes to set, then slip them off on to a wire rack to cool. Serve plain or filled with whipped cream.

Note: The biscuits are rolled into their distinctive tube shapes when they come out of the oven. If the biscuits cool too much and are too brittle to roll, return them to the oven for 1 minute to soften.
