Great little recipie! I got two medium sized cupcakes, just enough for me this afternoon. Years ago I read about queen cakes somewhere. Was it a Mary Poppins story? Maybe Elizabeth Goudge... There was no sugar specified, so I used two tablespoons, and it wasn't quite emough; three tbsp or even a quarter cup next time. They had a moist, light crumb with a kind of crispy crust. I loved the texture. I used just under 1/2 cup of flour 'cause my kitchen scale gave up the ghost and a tbsp milk since the egg wasn't quite enough moiature for that amount of flour. Great flavor and I love the texture. Thanks Renee and Mum.
