Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 eggs ((large))
  • 90g caster sugar
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbs mincemeat
  • 1 pinch salt ((if using unsalted butter))
  • 75 g butter ((melted and cooled))
  • 1 tsp butter (to grease the baking pan)

Instruction

  • Whisk the eggs and sugar together until they have doubled in size and are light and fluffy. 
  • Slowly fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the vanilla essence and mincemeat. 
  • Slowly add in the melted butter, gently folding all the time. 
  • When mixed cover the bowl and put in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably overnight; the batter should be foamy and full of air.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F / GM 5
  • Melt some more butter, and generously butter the tray.  If there is time chill the tray.
  • Put a dollop of the mixture into each mould and flatten slightly.
  • Each mould should be about 2/3 full. Bake for 7 - 9 minutes until risen, golden and shrinking away from the edges of the mould.
  • Leave for a few minutes and then turn out.
