-
Preheat the oven to 200ºC (180ºC fan, gas 6). Line a patty tin with 12 paper cases. Put the butter and Light Muscovado sugar into a bowl and mix together with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
-
Gradually whisk in the eggs, then sieve in the flour, tipping in the bran that doesn’t pass through the sieve holes. Add the milk and gently fold everything together.
-
Divide the mixture between the paper cases. Bake for 15 minutes until the cakes are risen and pale golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Remove the redcurrants from the stems, with a fork and put them into a food processor. Whiz until smooth and add half of the Golden Icing sugar, whiz again until combined, then add the remaining Golden Icing sugar, blend again until smooth.
- Spoon redcurrant icing on top of fairy cakes and finish with a 2-3 fresh redcurrants.
