Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Grease two baking trays and line with non-stick baking paper (greasing them helps the baking paper stay flat). Have ready a non-stick 12-hole muffin tin.
In a small saucepan, heat the margarine, sugar and golden syrup, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until melted together, then remove from the heat. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 2-3 minutes on high, stopping to stir several times. Add the brandy, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger and flour and whisk together until completely lump-free. Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Place six tablespoonfuls of mixture on each baking tray, allowing space for them to spread; they will bubble and grow to circles about 10cm across. Bake each tray separately for 8-10 minutes, or until dark golden brown (the colour of golden syrup). The circles are cooked through when the mix is no longer opaque, they are bubbling in the centre and they look a similar colour all over. Keep a close eye on them, as they burn very quickly.
Allow 5 minutes between each tray so that there is time to mould the baskets before the second batch has cooked. Don't be concerned if the circles join together, as they can be cut apart once cooled.
Leave circles on the tray to cool for about 2 minutes. Once they are firm enough to be lifted but still pliable, carefully use a spatula to place each one in a muffin hole and carefully mould it into the shape. You only have about 2 minutes before they will set hard, so work as quickly as possible. When firm, remove from the muffin tin and leave to cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
Tip: If you haven't made brandy baskets before or have a new oven, start by cooking one at a time to get the colour and timing right.
