Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325*F/160*C/gas mark 3.  Have ready 12 paper cases or a 12 cup muffin tin. (you don't need to put the cases in a tin, they will cook properly just as is if you place them on a baking sheet.) If using a tin, butter it well.

Step 2

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and beat together for 2 minutes until light, fluffy and well combined.

Step 3

Divide equally amongst your muffin cups/paper cases.

Step 4

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.  Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Step 5

These are very pretty served dusted with icing sugar.
