Brandy Snaps & Sable

Shew, I haven't posted in a long while :| 

This was a practical done at campus a few weeks ago. I'll just let the pictures say it all. 


These are brandy snaps. Once out the oven and whilst they are HOT, you're supposed to shape them. We shaped ours against a dariole mould & we molded some cigar shapes. The cigar shapes are ideal for custard to be piped into them & then to dip the cigar in chocolate. Our round bowl ones are perfect to hold a scoop of ice cream etc.

My Mise en place for the Brandy Snaps

Mise en place done for the Sable (which are basically biscuits) 

The brandy snaps mixture whilst hot. We had to wait for this sticky gooey mixture to cool so that we could mold it into round little flat balls on a baking tray. We noticed it was easier to spoon an ugly lump of this mixture onto a baking tray and leave it to cool there. Once cool then you could mold it and neaten it up from its ugly self.



Some of the Sable after they were baked and after they were dipped in chocolate.
The Sable piped on a baking sheet ready to go into the oven.
Until next time, keep your life frosted! <3
