oh i am weak.
found this recipe in the tesco magazine when i was cleaning the kitchen this morning. or rather, found the magazine. then, this afternoon, tore out all the interesting-looking recipes. then, after attending a comedy show tonight that had me out under the royal mile until ten, came home and made sponge cake with creme fraiche and fresh sliced strawberries.
as always, it gave instructions in grams and ounces rather than volumes, so aside from the butter and eggs i pretty much made up the rest of the recipe to the point that it ran something vaguely like
4 oz butter
3/4-1 c sugar
2 flax eggs
something in the general neighborhood of 2 c self-rising substitute
cream butter and sugar until fluffy. beat in eggs gradually. fold in flour.
bake at 150 (centigrade) in muffin tins until done.
i cooked until a mite past done and either didn't have enough levening or took to many strokes folding in the flour. so they had depressions in the centre and tasted just a bit like kettle corn.
topped with fresh sliced strawberries and creme fraiche beaten just until it holds its shape. would suggest beating creme with confectioners sugar, should you have it.
in any event, quite tasty.
