Fairy Cakes

• 100g caster sugar
• 100g very soft butter
• 100g self-raising flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in each bun hole.

Put the sugar and butter (it must be soft or you won’t be able to mix it properly) in a bowl and mix it together. Sift in the flour.

Break the eggs in and add the vanilla. Beat everything together well till the mixture is light coloured and creamy.

Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. Ask a grown-up helper to put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
