Brandy snaps

Brandy snaps

Brandy snaps are a common dessert food in England, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Brandy snaps are edible tubular brittle sweet baked casings which typically 10cm long and 2cm in diameter. They are usually served filled with whipped cream.

They are made from a mixture of golden syrup, flour, ginger, cream, sugar and butter and are baked briefly as a flat round disc that is then rolled while still hot and soft.

Brandy baskets are the same except that they are formed into a cup rather than rolled.
