Method

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Add half the eggs and whizz with an electric whisk until well mixed and extremely sticky. Gradually add the remaining eggs, alternating them with the butter, and mix to soft dough. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.

Spoon the mixture into a well-greased 12-hole muffin tray (I’ve used one with heart-shaped holes) and leave to rise
