Ingredients :

• 60g butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• ¼ cup plain flour, sifted
• 1½ tspn ground ginger
• ½ cup thickened cream, whipped
• 1 cup sliced strawberries

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. Combine butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan. Stir over a low heat until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved.
2. Remove saucepan from heat. Blend in flour and ginger. Beat until smooth and well combined.
3. Bake in several batches, by dropping 3 or 4 tspn of the mixture onto baking paper-lined baking trays, about 5cm apart. Spread into a 5cm circle.
4. Bake in a moderate oven (180°C) for 5 to 6 minutes or until a light golden brown. Cool on trays for about 1 minute. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. If desired, spread some brandy snaps with cream, top with strawberries and another biscuit for a delicious afternoon tea treat or a delicacy with coffee.
6. Cooks notes : If you would like to make rolled brandy snaps, simply allow to cool on tray for 30 seconds then wrap each one carefully around the handle of a wooden spoon. Leave to cool completely. Remove from spoon. Fill with flavored cream. Dip one end into melted chocolate if desired.
