as other jumbles.
By the addition of half a pint of molasses and a tea-spoonful of salæratus, you
will have a common black cake, which may be baked in one large pan.
Jumbles for Delicate Persons.
Roll a heaped pint of light-brown sugar, and rub it in two pints of flour, half
a pound of butter, and a dessert spoonful of cinnamon; beat an egg, and mix it
with half a tea-cup of rich milk (in which a very small lump of salæratus has
been dissolved;) stir all together with a wine glass of rose brandy; work it
well, roll thin and cut them out--bake with moderate heat.
Cup Jumbles.
Five tea-cups of flour, three of sugar, one heaped of butter, one of sweet
cream, three eggs and the peel of one lemon grated, or nutmeg, or mace if you
like; roll them thin, and bake in a quick oven.
Jackson Jumbles.
Three tea-cups of sugar, one of butter, five of flour, one tea-spoonful of
salæratus in a cup of sour cream and two eggs; bake in a quick oven; season
them with the peel of a fresh lemon grated, and half a wine-glass of brandy.
Macaroons.
Blanch a pound of almonds, beat them in a mortar, and put with them a little
rose water to keep them from oiling, the white of an egg, and a large spoonful
of flour; roll a pound of loaf-sugar, and beat the whites of four eggs; beat
them all together; shape them on white paper with a spoon, and bake them on tin
plates in a slow oven; let them be quite cold before you remove them from the
paper.
