Nice story.
Quick question about the recipe:
500 grams of butter
500 grams of sugar
500 grams of self raising flour
5 eggs
Cream butter and sugar together.
Beat each egg individually and fold into the mixture.
Eggs are usually 50 - 52 grams each but you only need just slightly under the 450 -500 gram mark worth of eggs.
Everything else must be in equal proportion.
Add flour and fold into mixture till smooth and creamy.
Pour into tin and place in oven at 180 C/350 F for 35-40 minutes. Take out of oven as soon as the top turns golden brown. If it hasn't after 30 minutes, turn temperature up to 200 C/ 375 F for 10 - 20 minutes. Remove, leave to cool, cut into little squares and enjoy.
Once mastered and enjoyed, pass recipe on.
How do you get about 450-500 grams of eggs out of 5 eggs, if each one weighs about 50 grams?
(It's the Math graduate student in me asking)
