Especially for Teel and everyone else

Lemon Fairy Cakes

Makes 9 cakes, 109 cals / 2 WW points per cake (not sure how good that is but they were tasty - everything in moderation)

75g /2.75oz self raising white flour
50g/1.75oz polyunsaturated margarine
50g/1.75oz caser sugar
1 egg, beaten
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190C/fan oven 170C. Line a 9 hole bun tin with paper cases

2. Sift the flour into a bowl.

3. In a seperate bowl beat the margarine and caster sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffly.

4. Add the beaten egg, lemon zest and lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of the flour into the mixture and mix well.

3. Add the remaining flour to the lemon mixture and fold it in throughly.

4.Divide the mixture between the paper cases and bake for 15 minutes, until the sponges are springy to the touch.

Replaced the lemon with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder in the second lot I made to give a little variation.
