Ingredients
- 60 grams butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup (50 grams)
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 200 grams thickened cream (heavy cream)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
- Combine butter, sugar, syrup and ginger in a saucepan and stir over low heat until melted and dissolved. Do not allow to simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in sifted flour and salt.
- Stir in lemon juice.
- Drop teaspoons of mixture onto a well greased baking tray. Place at least 10cm apart and cook two at a time only to begin with (so you can get familiar with the process).
- Bake for about 7 minutes or until spread out, bubbling and a golden brown colour.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about a minute.
- Slide a spatula under the biscuit. It should be soft but able to be moved without breaking apart. Wrap around the handle of a wooden spoon to form a tube. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes with overlapping edges at top. Remove spoon handle and then place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Keep baking off brandy snaps in lots of 2 until you get more confident in the process and can manage more brandy snaps at once.
- Once all the brandy snap tubes are completely cool store in an airtight container until you are ready to fill and serve them.
- When ready to serve, whip cream and then pipe into the brandy snap tubes.

Notes
- Storing: They'll last, unfilled, in an airtight container for about 5 days. They do, however, soften with time. For crispy Brandy Snaps, bake that day or the day before and fill just before serving.
- Freezing: Not suitable for freezing.
