Fairy Cakes
Making some fairy cakes
Ingredients: 100g caster sugar, 100g butter, 100g self raising flour, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, pre-heated oven at 170 deg C
Let your children help to make some fairy cakes - and then help eat them of course!
If the children are old enough let them help you weigh out the ingredients or even weigh them themselves. Put the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Make sure each child gets a good turn at mixing, then maybe finish off yourself
Break 1 egg into the mixing bowl and sift in about 2 tablespoons of flour (from your 100g of flour) with a sieve. Mix together well. If you can, let the kids break the egg in and sift in the flour. Then let them give it a good mix (again you can finish off yourself). Repeat for the second egg and 2 more tablespoons of flour.
