Aerated Oatmeal Gems Recipe ingredients

• 1-½ cups milk
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons melted vegetable fat
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1-1/3 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup entire wheat or Graham flour

To prepare this Aerated Oatmeal Gems Recipe, first put the sugar, the milk, the salt, and the fat into a bowl, and mix well. Add the rolled oats and the flour, mix to a smooth batter and set in a cold place overnight. Beat a few hard strokes with a spoon, and dip into hot, oiled iron gem pans and bake in a medium oven to a nice brown.

NOTE. - Only iron gem pans should be used for aerated breads, as it is largely the contrast between the hot irons and the cold batter which causes the expansion of the gems.
