Brandy Snap Baskets

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (115 g) butter
• 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking sheet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar, golden syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the flour, ginger, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using about 2 tablespoons of batter for each basket. Leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between each basket.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the brandy snap baskets cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, the brandy snap baskets can be filled with your favorite filling and served.
