Common Jumbles

Ingredients

• 1 pound of flour
• 1 pound of butter
• 1 pound of powdered white sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 large table-spoonful of mixed mace and cinnamon
• 2 grated nutmegs
• 1 tea-spoonful of essence of lemon or 1 wine glass of rose water

Instructions

Sift flour into a large pan. Cut up butter into the powdered white sugar, and stir them to a cream. Beat eggs till very light, and then pour them all at once into the pan of flour; next add the butter and sugar, with the mixed mace and cinnamon, nutmegs, and essence of lemon or rose water. When all the ingredients are in, stir the mixture very hard with a broad knife. Having floured your hands and spread some flour on the paste-board, make the dough into long rolls, (all of equal size,) and form them into rings by joining the two ends very nicely. Lay them on buttered tins, and bake them in a quick oven from five to ten minutes. Grate sugar over them when cool.
