Best Gem Scones Recipes
GEM SCONES
This recipe I found in my ancient Commonsense Cookery Book. My mum used to make these, not sure what recipe she used but I do have her old gem irons. I wasn't sure how these would work without gem irons, which are cast iron and about the size of mini muffin pans but with round shapes, but looking at an Australian website with very oldtime recipes, it mentioned using patty pans in one of their gem scone recipes. I haven't made these but I remember my mum's being as light as feather and melt in your mouth perfect.

GEM SCONES
When I was a kid, my mother made gem scones all the time. You had to use special cast iron "gem irons". these are a bit hard to get these days so the 1/2 round tins work quite well. maybe not quite as dainty a scone as the original but the taste is still there. as long as the tins are hot, the mixture rises up instead of overflowing the holes.

- using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

- I serve some with butter and jam and some with lemon curd.
