Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Lightly butter twelve small shallow patty tins and dust them with flour.
Warm a mixing bowl by running hot water inside it and then dry it thoroughly. Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick. This will take about 3 minutes with an electric beater.
Add the golden syrup and keep beating for another 5 minutes.
Sift together the dry ingredients fold them gently into the egg mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tins and bake for 8-10 minutes. The surface should spring back when you touch it lightly with your finger.
Leave for a couple of minutes until the mixture shrinks away from the tins a little. Turn out carefully loosening them with a round-bladed knife if necessary.
When cold cut a slit into the side of each cake with a small serrated knife and spoon or pipe in some whipped cream. Dust with icing sugar.
Delicious, my mum used to make these when I was a child. Such good memories and so yummy.

Well since I had an old Edmonds book with the same recipe in it, used the book and what a disaster (it's going in the bin despite its age). I checked the book against this online recipe and what was missing in the book was 1tsp baking powder. No wonder they didn't rise and took about 4 mins to cook, quickly going brown. I am an experienced and good baker but an absolute waste of ingredients, time and not to mention heating the oven.
