eggPreparation steps
1.
For the cupcakes: preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Place paper cases in a 12 hole muffin tin.
2.
Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
3.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each one. Add the flour and milk and mix gently until just incorporated. The mixture will be slightly lumpy.
4.
Spoon into the paper cases to half fill them. Add a few pieces of toffee and a few chopped pecans. Cover with the remaining mixture.
