Bright Buns

I had a go at making some buns and I think they turned out pretty good.  The yellow icing was just because i thought they needed a bit of colour. if you want to have a go at them here's the recipe. (the whole point of this blog is to give recipes for other to have go at)

  1. heat an oven to 180 degrees C (350 farenheight, Gas mark 4). line a bun tin with paper cases.
  2. mix margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. beat in the eggs on at a time with a little flour.
  3. fold in the remaining flour and add 1-2 drops vanilla extract.
