Brandy snaps are a popular snack or dessert food in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, similar to the Italian cannoli.
They are commonly made from a mixture of golden syrup, flour, ginger, cream, sugar, butter and lemon juice.
The snaps are cooked on a moderate heat and are baked briefly as a flat disc that is then rolled while still hot and soft.
