  Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place 12 paper patty cake cases in a 12-hole patty cake pan. Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift in flour and carefully fold together with a metal spoon. Divide the mixture between paper patty cases and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
