Great Granny's recipe ssshh its secret!

Weigh your eggs, and whatever their weight use the same of butter, sugar, sr flour.

Pwerfection. Never fails.

I personally beat the sugar and butter till fluffy, beat in the eggs and fold in the flour. 125g/125g/125g 2 eggs makes about 15 cakes depending whether you want to ice them or make butterfly buns (fewer if so as you need more of a peak).

upandaway,Do you weigh your eggs in their shells?

yes weigh eggs in shells

Mix butter and sugar. Add vanilla and then eggs. Sift flour, baking powder and salt and add to butter mix.

Bake at 180 degrees C. for 15 minute or till done.

I don't think it matters how old the thread is. The recipies can be older then that but what matters that they still work. Thank you everybody.
