Parshas Vezos Habracha-Simchas Torah!


Vesoz Habracha! The last parsha in the Torah! We read this parsha on Simchas Torah.

For the occasion I made brandy snap 'Torahs'!  
These are usually great with a filling down the sides but I didnt fill mine as I'm going to be serving them with ice cream.

Brandy Snap Recipe:

Ingredients:

180 grams margarine
180 grams sugar
120 ml syrup
10 grams ginger
180 grams flour

Method:

1.  In a sauce pan melt the margarine, sugar and syrup.  Allow to boil and stir to disolve the sugar.
2.  Pour the mixture into a bowl.  Sift the flour and ginger into it.
3.  Mix and mix until all lumps are gone and its a smooth batter.
4.  Refrigerate for about an hour to allow the batter to stiffen a bit.
5.  Preheat oven to 180C (350F)
6.  Take about a tablespoon of the batter and roll into a sausage.





7.  Only make 4 at a time.  Leave a lot of space between them as the spread a lot.




8.  Place in oven for 6-8 minutes.  You will know they are ready when the whole cookie bubbles and starts turning a golden colour.
9.  Let them cool for a minute or two.


10.  Roll the sides of the cookie up onto the back of a wooden spoon (i cut the end off my wooden spoon to make it easier to use.)



11.  Pull the wooden spoon out and allow to set of cooling rack.



Enjoy!

Wishing you a Chag Sameach!

    1. yeah it is quiet different. Another name for these cookies is lace cookies. when the sugar melts and starts bubbling in the oven it forms this pretty design.
