(makes about 8-9 snaps!)

Method:

1. Melt the sugar, butter and golden syrup until all the ingredients have melted.
2. carefully pour the flour in and mix,
3. put blobs of mixture consisting of about 1 tea spoon on a baking tray at least 7 cm apart, ( you will still have a lot of mixture left!)
4. put in the oven for about 4 - 5 minutes at 180 oc,
5. then take it out the oven and leave the batch to cool for about 1 - 2 minutes,
6. if the blobs of mix have collided just separate them by running a knife down the collided blobs to put them apart. 
7. then roll them on a spoon creating a cylinder like in the picture, and put on a plate to harden,
8. repeat instruction 3 - 7 until you have no mix left. (once the biscuits have slightly hardened and wont collapse with out a spoon you can remove the spoon)

You Can keep them in the fridge for 3 - 4 days but they wont taste as nice!

Tiramisini - kind of Tiramisu

Ingredients

• *100ml/3½fl oz espresso or strong instant coffee
• *2 tbsp coffee liqueur - Make a substitute for 2 tbsp of coffee liqueur by mixing 1 tsp of instant coffee with 2 tbsp of water and 1/2 to 1 tsp of chocolate 
• *4 Savoiardi biscuits (fine sponge ‘ladyfinger’ biscuits)
• *2 free-range egg whites
• *250g/9oz mascarpone
• *2 tbsp honey
• *2 tbsp Marsala - or Brandy
• *1 tsp cocoa powder

Preparation method

1. Make your espresso and pour it into a heatproof jug, adding the coffee liqueur, then leave it to cool - I find ten minutes outside the window on a cool day does it!
2. Break each Savoiardi sponge finger into about four and drop the pieces into four small martini glasses, then pour the cooled espresso mixture over them. Press down gently, making sure the biscuits are soaked all over.
3. Using an electric hand-held whisk for ease, beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks when the whisk is removed, and set aside for a moment.
4. Scrape the mascarpone into another bowl, adding the honey: I love the way its mellow sweetness marries with the Marsala (though sugar would be fine, too). Beat with the whisk (no need to clean it out first) and, when smooth, slowly beat in the Marsala.
5. Fold in the egg whites, a third at a time, then dollop this mixture over the soused Savoiardi in each glass, using a spoon to whirl it into an elegant peak at the top.
6. Let these stand in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and up to 24 hours, then dust with cocoa, pushing it through a fine-mesh strainer, just before serving
