Steps:
- Put the butter, sugar and syrup into a small saucepan and melt over low heat.
- Sift the flour and ginger together. Add to the melted mixture with the lemon juice.
- Drop 4 teaspoons of the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced well apart to allow for them spreading in the oven.
- Bake in centre of oven at 160c / 325f / gas mark 3 for 8 minutes.
- Butter a 12 hole bun case generously.
- Leave on the tray for 1 minute. Lift up with palette knife and position gently into a hole on the bun case. Gently push and shape the brandy snap into a basket shape within the hole. It might tear a bit but so long as you have a cavity for your ice cream, this doesn't matter too much. Watch that the folds of the brandy snap do not fold inwards too much, try to pull the edges apart so you have nice round shape.
- Allow to cool and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160 fan/ gas mark 4 and two baking trays with baking parchment.
- Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan and heat gently until the butter and sugar have melted. Put the flour and ginger in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the lemon zest and juice and the brandy. Pour in the butter mixture and gradually beat it into the flour until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Use a teaspoon to dollop 3 - 4 heaps of mixture onto the prepared baking tray. A heaped tsp is enough for a cigar and two heaped teaspoons is enough for a basket. Space them well apart as they will spread. Cook in batches for 8 - 10 mins until set, golden brown and lacy in appearance. Do not allow to go too dark as they will taste bitter. Leave for a minute before shaping - the snaps should still be pliable but set enough to move without tearing.
- You can shape the brandy snaps into cigars or baskets. To make cigars, oil the handle of a wooden spoon and wrap the brandy snap around. If you have a long handle or more than one spoon, you can do a few at a time. The base of the biscuits should be the bit that touches the spoon so that the top 'presentation' side of the biscuit is seen. Transfer to a cooling rack. To make baskets, oil the base of small ramekins or narrow tumblers and drape the biscuits over them. The top of the biscuit should touch the base this time as this is the bit you'll see.
- Pipe whipped cream into the cigars or use the baskets or cones for ice cream and berries. If not using straightway, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
