Mix margarine and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Add baking powder to self-raising flour and mix.

Add eggs one at a time to the margarine and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Fold in the flour mixture, alternating with 1/3 cup of milk, until a drop-like consistency is reached.
