Keep a watch so it does not crystalize.  Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon or ginger, and the brandy. Gradually stir in the flour to create a smooth batter. Spoon out 2 teaspoons of the batter for each brandy snap, spaced about 3 cm apart to give them room to spread.The batter makes 6 cookies.  Place the tray in the oven and bake for 7-8 or until they have a caramel colour.
