Ma's Little Cakes

The very old-fashioned recipe belonging to my Great Grandmother Elizabeth Spencer.
These were a standby of my childhood - Mum made them, Nana made them, Aunty made them. Now I make them.

4 ounces butter

2 ounces sugar

Cream these two together. Then add....

1 egg, well beaten,

1 TBSP Golden Syrup

7 ounces flour

1tsp Baking Powder

Pinch Salt

1/2 cup sultanas or raisins

Vanilla Essence

Mix together and spoon onto tray using little finger to slide them off. Press half a glace cherry onto the top of each cake. Bake for 10 minutes in a moderate oven.
