Firstly prepare the buttermilk. Mix the milk and orange stir and set aside until needed.

Melt the margarine in your microwave oven or on a sauce pan, over medium heat.

Whisk the melted margarine with the sugar, until nice and fluffy, add the eggs, one at a time, making sure before adding another egg that the previous one has been mixed in thoroughly into the batter.

Add 1/3 of the self raising flour, the salt, the vanilla and the baking powder and mix well. Add half of the buttermilk. Then add another 1/3 of the flour, the remaining buttermilk and then the rest if the flour. Mix well. You should get a think but runny dough.

Line a cupcake tray with cupcake papers. Fill the cupcake papers up to 2/3 and bake over a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes over 180oC. Use a toothpick to check after 15 minutes, if it comes out dry they are ready, if not bake for the whole 20 minutes.

You can cover with buttercream, cut and fill with jam or eat them as they are. Enjoy your cup of tea ☕️.
