Brandy Wafers(Scottish)

2 oz Golden syrup

1/4 c Butter

1/2 c 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. >From the booklet Scottish Teatime Recipes Typed By Ray Watson -----
