before I forget - Bun Recipe

I am going to put down the recipe for the buns I make so I have a reference point. 

Sponge Buns

Ingredients

4oz butter
4oz sugar
4oz of self - raising flour (6 oz if you want the mixture to go furthur)
2 eggs
flavouring (optional) I like Almond or Vanilla personally

For the Icing
1 3rd of a 500g bag of icing sugar
few teaspoons of water
dot of food colouring

METHOD
Preheat oven to gas mark 4-5

1) Mix butter and sugar together 
2) Beat eggs and add flour with egg in small portions until all is finished
3) Put 1-2 teaspoons of chosen flavouring
4) Put in preheated oven for 20 mins

5) Whilst waiting for buns to cook - wash up and then make the icing 
6) Icing goes into a mixing bowl with water after all is mixed together add a drop or two of food colouring

7) Once buns are golden brown take out and check that the mixture comes out clean - testing with a cocktail stick. Let them cool for 10-15 mins
8) Once cooled - add icing on top of the buns - with any optional sprinkles
9) Serve and enjoy
