Brandy Snaps ©

There is nothing more delicious than home made “Brandy Snaps.”  I first discovered them at the age of nine, when I was invited by an English family for a sleep over……ever so exciting…..The mother, for tea, suggested ‘We’  make “Brandy Snaps!!!!!” This was too thrilling for words……..

I never forgot the “Brandy Snaps,” and the tradition followed on when I had children and right up to this very day!

The History is interesting too, because contrary to belief they have no ‘brandy’ in them! Click on the ‘wikipedia’ link below…….
