26/10/2003 7:20:12 AM wife has a recipe for a sponge that cant be written down as it never turns out unless you actually watch the process.
she learnt it off a friend and the first time she tried it the sponge rose so high that it hit the top element in the oven.
one of the secrets is to toss the hot pan , when cooked, on the floor. and it works if the edge of the baking pan hits first and not so good if it lands flat on its base.
might aske her to do it one day and record every thing as they some times rise 5 inches high Report this post

into the flour. Gently fold everything together
until the flour is moistened. * Do not over-mix !
Spoon the mixture into 12 lightly greased med sized muffin pans..or 24 small ones. Bake at 200oC for 12 to 15 minutes,
