Spring
Hibernation is finally over and I am finally starting to show signs of life. I baked this morning, I am not a good baker as I use graduated eyeballs and guesstimates which works fine cooking meals but apparently is not the best approach to recipes that require exact amounts. Anyway, after acquiring an old fashioned gem iron I decided to make ginger gems. I modified the recipe with more ginger and more golden syrup and swapped out white sugar for less brown sugar so I knew it was touch and go. Surprise surprise I got the best ginger gems I have ever had. My new 20 min go to.. move over muffins.
Ginger gems are an old fashioned kiwi treat that needs heavy cast iron gem irons to make. Who knew these things are a collectors item and outrageously expensive but after you taste them you know why.
