Place some baking paper on a baking tray and lightly brush with butter. Using a teaspoon place small heaps of the mixture approximately 2cm/¾in apart, as they will expand while cooking. Bake for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool slightly then serve or store in an air-tight container.
