2 oz Golden syrup
2 oz Butter
2 oz Flour
2 oz Caster sugar
1/2 ts Brandy
1/2 ts Ground ginger

Set oven to 450F or Mark 8. Grease baking sheets. Melt
the butter, syrup and sugar together in a saucepan
over a very gentle heat. Stir in the flour, ground
ginger and the brandy. Beat together for about 5
minutes. Drop small teaspoonsful on to the baking
sheet, spaced well apart. Bake for 5 minutes until
pale golden brown in colour. Roll immediately, while
still hot, around the greased handle of a large wooden
spoon. Set aside to cool. These are delicious filled
with freshly whipped cream. Serves 4.
