Ingredients ( Makes around 12)

• 125g self-raising flour
• 125g butter or margarine
• 125g caster sugar
• 2 eggs (medium)
• 1-2 tbsp of warm water

Flavourings

Choose from one (or two if you’re feeling naughty!):

• 75g chocolate chips
• 50g cocoa powder
• 50g sultanas
• 1tsp ginger
• 1tsp cinnamon
• 1tsp vanilla extract

If you prefer, leave them plain and decorate with buttercream made from; 125g icing sugar, 1 tbsp. milk, 50g butter and a little food colouring of your choice!

How to make:

1. Grease a muffin/cupcake tray or prepare paper cases.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy and soft in texture.
3. Break the eggs into the mixture one at a time and add a little flour if it begins to curdle.
4. Add the remaining sieved flour and fold in a figure of eight to form a soft dropping consistency. Try not to over mix.
5. Add your cake flavouring – we added ginger and chocolate chips to ours!!
6. Share the mixture out between the cases (only half fill the cases).
7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190C for 15-20 minutes.
