Notes From Gran

Modern Notes

  • The recipe doesn’t specify the ratio between milk and water. I went with 1/2 cup Milk and added 1/6 cup water for 2/3 cup total. –David S
  • A gem pan seems to have been somewhere between a modern cupcake pan and mini bundt cake pan. The shape and size seems to have varied. Some are half-spheres, some are fluted, some are flattened ovals. I’m going to try both cupcake pans with cupcake wrappers and mini bundt pans. –David S
