Butter - 25g
Golden syrup - 2 tablespoons
Flour - 1 cup
Bicarbonate of soda/bread soda - 1 teaspoon
Ground ginger - 1 teaspoon
Salt - a pinch
Brown or raw sugar - ¼ cup
Egg - 1
Milk - ½ cup

Butter - to grease the gem iron

Preheat the oven to 215°C. Put in the gem iron in the oven to heat.

Melt the butter and syrup together until just warm. Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and stir until blended. Beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl and add to the dry ingredients with the butter and syrup. Mix well.

Taking the gem iron out of the oven, put a little butter into each space and, using a pastry brush, grease well. Put a large spoonful of the batter into each space and place back in the oven for about 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and leave for five minutes before removing from the tin. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Makes 12.

Suggestion:   Serve as dessert with ice cream and caramel sauce.

Like a lot of you I have such fun playing with these recipes and this equipment.  But I had only just set up the last photo when a car that I thought was the police pulled up and a large "policeman" came in.  He actually was from the Council and I had been reported for "burning off".  I happily took him around the back and showed him the set up and he took a photo told me they looked great and said it was fine to do what I was doing.  Pity some dont have a life and in my opinion they only make fools of themselves when they do this type thing, pity they cant be charged with causing malicious damage.  Once before we reported for having a BBQ Lunch with the same end result.
