How to make:

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and soft in texture.
- Break the eggs into the mixture one at a time and add a little flour if it begins to curdle.
- Add the remaining sieved flour and fold in a figure of eight to form a soft dropping consistency. Try not to over mix.

- Share the mixture out between the cases (only half fill the cases).
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190C for 15-20 minutes.
