Scottish recipe. Brandy Wafers.
The close historical relationship between Scotland and France meant that brandy was a well known alcoholic drink in the home of whisky.
INGREDIENTS:
2 ounces golden syrup (Light corn syrup is the nearest US equivalent)
2 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
2 ounces caster sugar (Fine granulated sugar)
Half teaspoon brandy
Half teaspoon ground ginger
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 450F/250C/Gas Mark 8 and grease a baking sheet. Melt the butter, syrup and sugar over a gentle heat and then stir in the flour, ginger and brandy. Keep stirring for about five minutes. Drop small teaspoonsfuls onto the baking sheet, keeping them well apart. Bake for five minutes or until they are a pale golden brown. Using the greased handle of a large wooden spoon, roll the wafers round the handle while they are still hot - take care not to burn yourself! Allow to cool before use. They are excellent on their own, or filled with whipped cream, or sticking out of ice cream.

My mother made something like this at one time. She called them "Brandy Snaps". As children we did not like them, but children often do not have refined taste! I have not had them since. Maybe I ought to get some brandy and make a few.
Hello Nancyjane. Yes, Brandysnaps is the English name for Brandy wafers!
Ha ha ha ha! What an excuse for buying a bottle brandy! Make sure it's a big bottle, you need to make sure there's enough left for the wafers!
