The website I found below says that the brandy must be heated to 130 degrees before you add it to the dish. If there is a better use for the internet than learning how to set food and drinks on fire then I don't know what it is.

Edit: Highlights from the article:
80 proof is considered ideal for flambe.
Do not pour directly from bottle, it may explode.
Warm in microwave for about 15 seconds.
Food you are trying to flame must be warm.
Light fumes with a long match.
