Wash snails and let them drain on a sieve. Wash parsley and chop finely. Peel shallots and garlic and also chop finely. Cream butter and mix with parsley, shallots and garlic.
Season to taste with pepper, salt and brandy. Put one snail into each housing and pour in about 1/2 teaspoon of the snail liquid. Cover the opening with herb butter. Put 6 snails in a snail pan and add the remaining herb butter.
Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 250°C/ gas: level 5) for approx. 15 minutes until the herb butter foams. Fresh white bread tastes good with it.
