You almost certainly don’t have a gem pan. Consider using ring molds on a sheet pan, if you have them.

From the box of L.S. from Joplin, Missouri.

quick oven: Generally, 375 to 400 deg. F.
gem pan: A specific form of pan, sort of like a muffin pan, except with straight sides in the cups, spaces between the cups for air circulation, and traditionally made out of cast iron. The name comes from a specific variation of muffin made from whole wheat flour, often with fruit in it, called fruit gems. A muffin pan, a sheet pan with straight-side ramekins, or a sheet pan lined with ring molds might work as a substitute depending on the recipe.
