Preheat oven to 160CFan/180C. Prepare a baking tray lined with baking parchment or silicone mat.
In a small saucepan melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup until the sugar has melted.
In a bowl measure out the flour and ground ginger. Once the butter mixture has melted, add the dry ingredients, lemon zest and juice. Mix well.
Using a teaspoon, drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. A teaspoon will spread enough for a cylinder or curved shape. If you want bigger discs for brandy baskets then add 2 teaspoons to each biscuit.
Bake for 10 minutes but watch closely, they should become lace like, but not too dark, just golden.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes. Next shape into cylinders by using the handle of a wooden spoon that has been rubbed with sunflower oil. Alternatively make any other shape that you wish to fill.
Set the snaps aside to cool completely before filling.
Filling
In a bowl whip the double cream with the zest of 2 small clementines. Pipe into the cooled brandy snaps.
Store any unfilled brandy snaps for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
Notes
These snaps biscuits can be filled with any flavoured cream. Stem ginger mixed through double cream also works beautifully.If you want to store the brandy snaps do not fill them first. Instead place the snaps into an airtight container, placing a sheet of grease-proof paper between each layer to stop them sticking together. Store in a cool place for 2-3 days.
