175g caster sugar

3 eggs

175g plain flour

50g self-raising flour

2 tablespoons milk

Food colouring/vanilla essence/cocoa & hot water

  4. Add the eggs and mix again.
  5. Sieve in the flour and fold into mixture. Add the milk and mix again.
  6. Separate the mixture into small bowls. To each bowl, add a different food colouring, or the vanilla, or the hot cocoa mixture.
