green hippo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi, I've lent my Anna Ephgrave book (The Reception Year in Action) and I want to use the cup cake recipe this week. It's one where you weigh the ingredients against the eggs but I'm not sure the exact recipe. Does anyone have it handy? Thanks Green Hippo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 As follows: Balance 1 egg with flour - put flour in bowl. Balance egg with sugar - put sugar in bowl Balance egg with butter - put butter in bowl Put the egg in the bowl (breaking it first! ) Mix it up Put the mixture in cake tins Cook at 190C for 15 minutes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreamay Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 erm does that mean if your 2 eggs weigh 5oz its 5oz of all other ingredients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green hippo Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thinks so! I love it because we can use balance scales to weigh the ingredient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 erm does that mean if your 2 eggs weigh 5oz its 5oz of all other ingredients? Yes- this is the recipe passed down from my mum. Always works for me! I usually use three eggs and chuck it all in mixer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
