Notes​

2016-06​

  • 250g plain flour
  • 200ml milk
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 50g sugar
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • no cinnamon
  • no vanilla essence?
  • pinch of salt
  • 10 minutes rest

Was quite good. Not particularly fluffy, but texture was great. Could be sweeter.

Next time, add a little more sugar.

2016-07-02​

  • 180g plain flour
  • 150ml milk
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 50g + 50g sugar
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence?
  • pinch of salt
  • 20 minutes rest

Also quite good. Perhaps too much cinnamon, and not enough baking powder.

Next time:

  • add a little more baking powder - somewhere between one teaspon and one tablespoon, so perhaps half a tablespoon; and
  • use less cinnamon - perhaps one teaspon (instead of two); and
  • consider adding some vanilla essence.
