Game of Thrones'  Sansa likes her lemon cakes very much.  Here is the recipe:


Shopping List:

4 eggs, free range
220 gr granulated sugar
160 gr butter, melted
200 gr plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
zest of 1 fresh, clean lemon
1 tablespoon milk



Preheat your oven to 180C.  Put cupcake cases in your muffin tins, about 18.
Take 1/4 of the 220 gr sugar and set aside.

Beat the eggs with the rest of the sugar in a medium bowl until light and airy.
Slowly pour in the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Stir the lemon zest and the milk into  the mixture.

Put the flour in a seperate bowl adding the baking powder and stir well.

Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and again mix well.

Divide the batter between the paper cases, filling each cupcase half full. With a teaspoon you can divide the reserved sugar on top of the batter.

Bake your lemon magdalenas in your preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and your skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out and leave them to cool completely on your wire rack.
