My mother used to make for us, many years ago, honey gems. Like ginger gems these were bakedi in a gem iron. Does anyone possibly have the recipe!

Simialr to above I guess you can omit the ginger , this uses baking soda not baking powder .Made my first gems yesterday using this recipe and they were very edible
