BRANDY SNAPS
Originating in the UK, brandy snaps are delicately thin wafer cookies with a signature lacy texture. When rolled and filled with whipped cream, they are the ultimate sweet treat. While the brandy snap is shatteringly crisp, the whipped cream is soft and fluffy and offsets the sugary cookie perfectly. Despite their name, brandy snaps traditionally do not contain any brandy, though we've added a small amount to the whipped cream as a tasty option for adults. Commonly used in British baking recipes, golden syrup is available in some supermarkets and can be found online.

Steps:
- For the brandy snaps: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. You'll need 2 wooden spoons with 3/4-inch-thick handles to roll the brandy snaps around. If the handles are too thin, tightly wrap foil around them until they are the right thickness.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar, golden syrup and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium low, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is mostly dissolved (it should never come to a simmer), about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly for 2 minutes, then sift the flour and ginger directly into the saucepan through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir until combined and a smooth, fluid paste.
- Place 5 to 6 separate heaping teaspoons at least 4 inches apart from each other on the prepared baking sheets. Gently spread each mound into an even 2-inch circle with the back of a spoon. Bake one sheet at a time for 6 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and continue baking until caramel to toffee brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. (If too pale, the brandy snaps will not get crisp enough.)
- Let cool briefly for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet until you can slide a small offset spatula underneath a brandy snap and lift it off (it should still be warm and flexible). Place on a cutting board rough-side down and roll around the wooden spoon handle, pressing down on the seam to seal. Working quickly, repeat with the remaining brandy snaps, alternating with the 2 wooden spoons and removing the rolled brandy snaps to a rack to cool completely. (If too stiff to roll, return the brandy snaps to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until flexible again.)
- Bake and roll the brandy snaps on the second baking sheet, then continue the process of spooning, baking and rolling with the remaining batter, alternating the baking sheets.
- For the filling: When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, brandy if using, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag or large resealable plastic bag. Cut the tip and pipe the whipped cream into the rolled brandy snaps. Serve within 2 hours.

24 ESSENTIAL CLASSIC BRANDY COCKTAILS YOU SHOULD KNOW
From thespruceeats.com
- Brandy Cocktail. The brandy cocktail is a perfect way to dress up a good brandy, and it fits the definition of a cocktail perfectly. The recipe mixes brandy with curaçao, then finishes it off with both Angostura and Peychaud's Bitters.
- Brandy Daisy. The brandy daisy is very similar and one of the better "daisy" cocktails. It requires just a few dashes of rum along with curaçao, simple syrup, lemon, and soda.
- Metropolitan. Just as gin has the martini and whiskey has the Manhattan, brandy has the metropolitan. This classic recipe mixes brandy with sweet vermouth and simple syrup for a modest, satisfying drink that is great before dinner.
- B&B. As many brandy recipes demonstrate, simpler is often better, and no cocktail proves this more than the B&B. It is equal parts of brandy and the herbal liqueur, Bénédictine, served in a snifter.
- Vieux Carre. A New Orleans classic, the Vieux Carré is an interesting cocktail with layers of flavor. In it, cognac and rye whiskey join up with sweet vermouth, Bénédictine, and Angostura and Peychaud's bitters.
