Hi

 

If this is what you mean....

 

If I'm making a sponge cake I weigh three eggs and then use the same ammount of butter, sugar and self-raising flour.

 

As for how many it makes...three eggs usually make an average 8" diameter sponge. Not sure about individual paper cases (fairy cakes).

 

Hope this is of some use

You are a star. Just what I was after.

Thank you

That's what I do, maybe add a drop of milk to make a soft dropping consistency. I'd guess at a dozen fairy cakes but it depends how big your spoonful is.

There is another recipie which is easy for the children. It's on the site somewhere.

1 tablespoon of flour,

1 teaspoon marg., 1 teaspoon suagr,

a few currents/sultanas/chocolate drops

2 tablespoons (approx) milk/egg mixture {made from 2 eggs in pint of milk}

The children can mix these in their own bowls and put it into cake cases.

I think it makes around 18 cakes.

I had a recepie book made up for the children to see what was needed next and they did really well.
