The late J. Vernon McGee received a letter from a lady who listened to his radio program. She wrote: “Our preacher said that on Easter Jesus just swooned on the cross and that the disciples nursed him back to health. What do you think?” McGee replied, “Dear Sister, beat your preacher with a leather whip. Nail him to a cross. Hang him in the sun for six hours. Run a spear through his heart. Embalm him. Put him in an airless tomb for three days. Then see what happens” (J. Vernon McGee).

7. Preheat oven to 160ºc / Gas Mark 3.
8. Turn several baking sheets upside down and lightly grease the
undersides. It is much easier to remove the brandy snaps from a tray
with no side lips.
9. Place walnut sized pieces onto the trays and spread out into
circles with your fingertips. Don't attempt more than 2 per tray.
10. Bake in a preheated oven for 5 - 7 minutes until golden and set.
11. Remove from oven and leave to settle for a minute or so. The
snaps will have a lacy surface.
12. Lift biscuits from tin using a palette knife and drape
immediately over a ramekin or pudding basin (or cut the base of a
lemon and use that) squeezing into a tulip shape whilst still warm.
Repeat until you have used up the mixture.
13. Store in an airtight tin until needed.
14. Fill with a selection of ice creams, fruits, or sorbets to make a
wonderfully light summer dessert
