Brandy Snaps - cooking recipe

Ingredients

125 g butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
125 g golden syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon brandy
1 cup plain flour, sifted
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, whipped if filling he brandy snaps

Preparation

Heat the butter, sugar, syrup, lemon juice and brandy gently together in a saucepan until the brandy melts and the butter melts and the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, mix in the flour and ginger and leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 190\u00b0C, line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper and place 6 teaspoons of the mixture, placed well apert on each. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. To ensure enough time to roll the brandy snaps, put one tray into the oven 5 minutes before the other.
Remove the brandy snaps from the oven and cool on the baking tray for a few seconds, then lift the biscuits off with a palette knife and roll around wooden spoon handles. If they become too hard to roll, pop them back in the oven for a few seconds. When firm, remove from the spoon handles and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
To fill the brandy snaps, spoon the cream into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle and pipe into each end of the biscuits.
Serve as soon as they are filled.
