  Hi - have just checked this and it should be 50g or 2 oz melted butter in case anyone wants to try it! Happy Christmas - Sue

  Delicious recipe! So quick to prep and great for preparing beforehand too. Kept mix in fridge for an hour before baking. Very light. Didn't use ramekins though (don't have four) so put mix in 4 muffin cases in a muffin tin. Worked as well Im sure. These are now firmly in my binder for future reference.

  Did not have dark muscavado sugar so used light, and just added saltanas, they were delicious. Also drizzled golden syrup and they were just as nice if not nicer than with honey - definitely will become a Christmas Tradition !

  Very easy, quick and convenient, as you can stick them in the fridge until you are ready to bake them. I served them with home-made pistachio ice cream (100g pistachios, 100g sugar, blitz them together and add 480 g Greek yoghurt, then freeze). It was delicious.
