O, and important, "half-fill' each gem iron with mixture."

Ooops! zz an optional nothing-

Hilary- Aunt Daisy's gem recipe:
"2 cups of flour, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup pf sugar, I oz. butter, 1 cup of milk, 3 tspns. baking powder. Beat eggs and sugar very well, melt ounce of butter and add. Then add milk and other ingredients. Have gem irons very hot, and grease with butter or lard. Cook in very hot oven. Makes 24 gems.zz'

Danielle- I have a gem iron. In all my large family group. it is the only gem iron. None of my neighbours have gem irons..and I havent used it for nearly a year. Gems are good: my Nanna used to make 'em and pop a syruped apricot inside (other fillings were gooseberry or black currant jam.) Gem recipe available upon request.

Darwin proposed a theory (actually more than one.) An enormous amount of evidence - carefully looked at, sieved if you will, certainly checked by many many trained minds - supports the major theory.
Little p - what are you offering in contradiction to Charles Darwin's extraordinary well-backed-up (from his own work- from a thousand thousand (just a guess here!) researchers' work) printed scientific papers?

Amy - a drop scone, from my brief research, seems to be a pikelet.
Pikelets are either bland or slightly sweet - they are never (in my experience, coming from a long line of Scots girdle* users) cheesy...*also called in good Scots a griddle - I have a girdle iron/griddle, used by my greatgrandmother (from Mainland, Orkney.)

1:Carol Stewart- ahhh, cheese rolls! They're everywhere south of the Waitaki, and were v. common in CHCH also when I was growing up.
While the whitebread version is traditional, I prefer thinly sliced wholemeal - and use chives instead of the minced onion, generally. Recipe otherwise the same-2: Stephen Judd- those cheese puffs sound uncommonly like the family cheesies...the recipe given in your post is similar but
a)beat egg white until it peaks; add yolk carefully, and sift in self-raising flour + a tspn. of b.p, with a sufficiency of buttermilk; add the grated cheese (and especially additional flavourings - minced onion/paprika/or piripiri all work well) until you have a soft, not overworked, dough. It should be moist.
b) We cook them in dessertspoonfuls, and hurl them at the ravening mob (a.k.a whanau) ...quick, easy, and better than mucking round with fried breads sometimes..3: If you should find yourself in Hokitika, dont despair! Very close to the New World in Revell Street, going south, you will find Collette's. I dont know Collette's buisness name, but I do know her shop. Excellent & large selection of single malts; best selection of cigars on the Coast; wonderful collection of coffees, and Rosy Glow chocolate-
which name made my sister-i-l laugh like a drain the first time she saw it: it's a diagnostic for death by cabon monoxide poisoning...
