BRANDY SNAPS

 

 

 

 

Brandy Snaps are basically a crisp, sweet, lacy, candy vanquish that you lot tin fill upward alongside sweetened whipped cream or your favorite mousse.

They await rattling difficult to make, but it is an illusion; they are pretty tardily if you lot pay attending to the tips below inwards RED.

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons white corn syrup
1/4 loving cup butter  (I used alone iii tablespoons)
2 teaspoons brandy (or) 1 teaspoon vanilla (I used rum extract)
1/4 loving cup all operate flour

Since this whole procedure goes VERY fast, it is best to have everything laid upward earlier you lot get-go cooking the inwards a higher house ingredients.

Preheat your oven to 350° as well as job a cookie canvas alongside parchment newspaper (important). These candy shells REALLY spread every bit they cook, therefore only plan on making six of them on each cookie sheet.

Mix the sugar, corn syrup as well as butter inwards a small-scale saucepan. STIR over medium oestrus until the mixture is practiced as well as bubbling, therefore withdraw from oestrus as well as stir inwards the flour as well as flavoring.

Drop one measurement teaspoon (per candy shell) of the cooked mixture onto the parchment paper. This volition spread out into a circle close 4" inwards diameter every bit it bakes for close 6 to vii minutes, but scout them rattling carefully later half-dozen minutes, every bit they tin travel from caramel colored to DARK rattling fast. It sounds tricky, but it isn't.

My candy circles were fairly pale inwards color until they hitting the 6 minute grade inwards my electrical oven, but they were a beautiful lite caramel color at 6 1/2 minutes.

When they convey turned a overnice lite caramel color, withdraw from the oven as well as allow them sit down on the cookie canvas for close 30 seconds. If they await a trivial oily, LIGHTLY dab them alongside a newspaper towel.

Use a pointed knife as well as elevator the border of the candy circle up a trivial therefore that you lot tin take in it alongside your fingers (be careful, this is VERY  hot). One at a time, apace curlicue the candy circle around the grip of a wooden spoon (they volition cool almost straight off as well as represent their shape).

Once you lot cast it to a greater extent than or less the spoon handle, it volition instantly last cool plenty to slide the candy subway scheme off of the handle, as well as it's done!! 

If the other candies instruct every bit good "hard" to roll, set them dorsum inwards the oven for xxx seconds or therefore (but that shouldn't last a problem, as they remain fairly pliable every bit long every bit they are on the hot cookie sheet), they alone travel stiff in i lawsuit they cool off.

 

I didn't work a spoon handle, I used some metallic cannoli tubes I convey as well as they worked perfectly (no involve to grease the spoon handle).

Keep the cooled candy tubes inwards an air tight container until you lot are laid upward to serve them. Fill them alongside sweetened whipped cream (the candy tubes tin last filled up to close an hr earlier serving).

Don't last scared off past times whatsoever of my "warnings' close this recipe, it may audio complicated, but it actually is pretty easy as well as I promise you lot endeavor it.

NOTE: I substituted rum extract for the vanilla, the candy tasted similar butterscotch. I intend ANY extract would work.

NOTE: You don't convey to fill upward these alongside whipped cream. Almost whatsoever mousse similar whipped filling would piece of work wonderfully.
