125g stork or softened unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp of double or sour cream

Cream together the stork and the sugar until pale and creamy, next slowly add the eggs beating a little at a time until well incorporated, add the cream, vanilla and zest, mix into the batter.
Sift the flours and baking powder together and fold into the egg batter.
Pour into 6 muffin cups or traditional Bolos de Arroz cases.
Bake at 200˚c for 5 minutes, turn the oven down to 170˚c and bake for a further 15-18 mins.
