Plain Graham Gems

Dr. Alice B. Stockham, Chicago.

3 cups water - scant. 3 cups Akron Graham flour.

1 tablespoon molasses.

Stir well together, fill the deep acorn gem-irons full, put on the grate in the oven for 10 minutes, then on the oven bottom 20 minutes. Salt will make heavy. Do not use it in anything that has no yeast powder.

Note

The secret of Graham gems is to have the irons deep and very hot and the oven equally hot. If hot enough the gems will crust over quickly and retain the gases which cause their lightness. But if there is not sufficient heat the gases escape and the gems fail to rise.
