GEMS OR PUFFS (PLAIN)
- Milk, 1 cup.
- Salt.
- Cooking oil, 1 tablespoonful, if desired.
- Egg, 1.
- Sifted flour, about 2 cups.
Break the egg into the milk, add salt, and beat thoroughly. Beat into this enough sifted flour to make a batter that will pile slightly when poured in a thick stream. Bake in hot greased gem irons in a brisk oven. A tablespoonful of cooking oil may be added to the milk if a richer batter is desired.
