ingredients
2 ounces self rising flour
1 ounce desiccated coconut
1 ounce glace cherries, halved
2 ounces margarine
2 ounces caster sugar
1 egg, beaten
directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place some paper fairy cake cases on a baking tray, evenly spaced apart. Sift the flour onto a plate and mix with the coconut.
Cream together the margarine and sugar using a wooden spoon until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add egg a little at a time, beating well between each addition.
Lightly fold in half the flour and coconut with a metal spoon then add the remaining flour and coconut and stir mix well, adding 2-3 teaspoons milk if necessary in order to make the mixture soft enough to drop easily from the spoon.
Place 1 heaped teaspoon of the mixture in each paper case, pushing it from spoon with knife. Smooth the tops, then decorate each bun with a piece of cherry. Bake towards the top of the oven for 15-20 minutes, until well-risen, golden and firm to the touch. Cool on wire racks.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I wasn't sure what fairy cake cases were but I used cupcake papers in a muffin tin instead. The cakes were ok. I'm not sure what they are supposed to be like.
