5 Nov. indulgence!

I made these 'brandy' snaps for Saturday evening after the local firework display. Instead of brandy I flavoured the whipped cream with Baileys. Yummy :)

Ooooh what a fabulous idea! Like the idea of brandy snaps for firework night too.
Looks gorgeous.

Oh, this brings back childhood memories for me ... my Granny taught me how to use the handle of a wooden spoon to create the right shape ... they look very inviting, Gee! ... :o)

I couldn't cope with a wooden spoon, Shirley, so used the cream horn cones - much easier :)

Hi Gee19 YES, YUMMY. could i please have the recipe? :)

This is the recipe I used, Cmsue. This amount makes about 12 so I doubled up the amounts for my greedy family!

Brandy snap recipe:

55g/2oz butter
55g/2oz caster sugar
55g/2oz golden syrup
50g/1¾oz plain flour
½ level tsp ground ginger
½ tsp lemon juice

Gently melt first 3 ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Stir until combined. Place a teaspoon of the mixture on a large baking sheet - only put 4 on at time as they spread a lot! Bake at 180C for 8-10 minutes and are golden brown. Leave to cool for a minute or so when they will still be pliable enough to mould around handle of wooden spoon or around cream horn cones. (I found this a bit fiddly to start with). When completely cold fill with whipped cream flavoured with brandy or liquer of choice.

Enjoy :)
