I usually begin by halfing all the quantities as I rarely need to make a 20cm round cake or 12 scones. Can be a bit tricky though if you are using eggs as they don’t exactly half easily.

I have quite a few books but the this is the one I like best, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0563521147/. I’ve liked everything I’ve made from that book.

Going to try scones next though my main problem is the recipes’ are always for 12 or more and I’d never eat them – though I suppose the guys in work won’t mind!
