- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup superfine sugar
- 1/3 cup golden syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease baking sheets.
- Sift together flour and ginger.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar and syrup and cook until butter is melted. Allow to cool.
- Stir flour mixture and lemon rind into syrup. Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared sheets, well spaced apart, as the mixture will spread.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes in preheated oven, until golden. Remove from oven and let cool 1 minute. Have ready 5 small bowls, their undersides buttered. Gently lift the brandy snap off the tray and bend it over a bowl to shape. Remove baskets when cooler and set.
