Pre-heat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease a 12 hole muffin tin.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, if the mixture starts to curdle add a little flour.

Place large spoonful’s of the mixture into the muffin tin and bake for approx. 20 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch. Remove from oven, leave to cool before carefully turning out each muffin onto a cooling rack.
