Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5. Line fairy cake tray with baking cases. Beat together butter (or margarine) with sugar until pale and creamy.

Add half the flour and gradually whisk in beaten eggs. Sieve the remaining flour and baking powder and add natural vanilla extract and mix together.
