Wheatmeal Gems

Put two and one-half breakfast cupfuls of fine, granulated wheat into a basin with one saltspoonful of salt, and stir in gradually one breakfast cupful of milk and one breakfast cupful of water. Beat the batter as long and as quickly as possible. Butter some iron gem-pans, make them very hot, and fill them quickly with the batter, beating it briskly several times during the turning; place them in a hot oven, and bake. Serve either hot or cold.
