Brandy Snap Biscuits
To make small, flat brandy snap cookies, use a heaped teaspoon of mixture for each biscuit and allow to cool flat on the trays. If preferred, shape into brandy snap rolls or baskets while still warm from the oven.
- Prep time:
- 15 mins
- Cook time:
- 10 mins + cooling
- Makes:
- 8
- 50g butter, chopped
- ½ cup soft brown sugar
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- ½ cup flour
- ½ tsp ground ginger
To serve (optional)
- lightly whipped cream
- strawberries or other fresh fruit
- icing sugar, to dust
Preheat oven to 180°C fanbake and line 3 oven trays with baking paper. Combine butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Set aside for 5 minutes.
When slightly cooled, stir in the flour and ginger. Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays, leaving lots of room for spreading. Bake for 5 minutes or until bubbling and a deep golden colour. Remove from oven and allow to cool flat on trays. Once crisp, store until needed in an airtight container with a baking paper or waxed paper divider in between the layers. If desired, serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit and dust with icing sugar.
