Jelly Jumbles

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sour milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg

Directions:
Flour
1/2 teaspoon soda
Currant jelly
Cream the butter, add sugar gradually, egg well beaten, soda mixed with milk, salt and flour
to
make a soft dough. Chill and shape, using a round cutter. On the centres of one−half the
pieces
put currant jelly. Make three small openings in remaining halves, using a thimble, and put
pieces
together. Press edges slightly, and bake in a rather hot oven, that jumbles may keep in good
shape.

Mix and sift two cups flour and one−half cup brown sugar. Wash three−fourths cup butter and
work into first mixture, using tips of fingers. Roll to one−third inch in thickness, shape with a
fluted round cutter five inches in diameter. Cut each piece in quarters and crease with the dull
edge of a case knife to represent folds of a fan. Brush over with yolk of egg diluted with
three−fourths teaspoon water. Bake in a slow oven.
