brandy snap

Rolled ginger biscuit

A brandy snap is a thin, crisp British cookie made from golden syrup, butter, and flour, traditionally rolled into a tube shape while still warm.

The delicate, lacy wafer often gets filled with whipped cream: We served brandy snaps with coffee after dinner.

Despite the name, brandy is optional in modern recipes.
