FAIRY CAKES

1 c. raisins (golden)
1 tsp. of each (or to taste); cinnamon and nutmeg
1 tbsp. vanilla flavoring
1 c. of flour
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. milk (whole or low-fat)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch square pan or cake pan (round). Mix flour, baking powder and spices, cream butter and add to flour mixture, add sugar, vanilla and raisins. Beat eggs and milk. Add to mixture, blend lightly. Spoon into pan, bake for 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean. If made in cake round, cake will be only about 2 to 3 inches high and moist and heavy. Serve warm if you prefer. Also great with powdered sugar on top. Serve with pot of cinnamon spice tea.

Answer 2

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ginger
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 pinch cardamom (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay out about 18 cupcake (muffin) papers on a baking sheet or place them in a muffin pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time using an electric mixer, or the whole thing may be mixed in a blender. Add cinnamon and ginger to the batter and mix well. Stir in the flour until well blended. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the batter into each paper, and level it out.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Dust with confectioners' sugar and cardamom when cooled.

Answer 4

First you got to catch the little buggers.The most humane way to cook them is to put them in the freezer...it makes them go into hibernation. Then, drop em in boiling water head first. Boil them for 7 minutes and put them in your food processor. I usually take the wings off before that because they tend to be stringy.
Add 1 cup of flour per ten faeries and 1/4 cup of honey and two eggs. You can add a tsp of vanilla if you want. Mix up the batter and pour them into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.......
