Whoopie Pies

This is the first time I have made them, they came out good. If you find another recipe that is also good please get in touch.

1 ¼ oz Cocoa powder

10 ½ oz Plain Flour

3 ½ oz Butter

1tsp Baking Soda ( bicarb of soda)

1tsp Baking Powder

6oz Dark Muscovado Sugar

1 Egg

1tsp Vanilla Extract

4fl oz Milk

2 baking tray ( I put greaseproof paper on them)

Pre heat oven 150c, 170c fan, gas mark 3

This makes 12 Whoopies so 6 whole pies

Sieve the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder into a bowl.

Cream together the butter, sugar and egg. Mix the milk with the vanilla extract. Now start adding the flour mixture to the butter mix and then add the milk mix and beat until smooth.

Spoon the mixture on to the trays (I used a ice cream scoop but they quite big.) and smooth down with the back of a knife (dip the knife in hot water this will stop it from sticking to the pies)

Leave enough room for them to spread and rise.

Cook for 15 minutes until they are firm, then let them completely cool on a wire rack. Then fill with what ever you like I did a peppermint butter cream, sandwich together and you can even put icing on top, or dust with icing sugar.

Enjoy
