Ring Jumbles.
1 lb. butter.
1 lb. sugar.
4 eggs.
1 lb. flour, or enough to make out a soft dough.
Wineglass (small) rose-water.
Cream the butter and sugar, add the beaten yolks, then the rose-water, next half the flour, lastly the whites, stirred in very lightly, alternately with the remaining flour. Have ready a pan, broad and shallow, lined on the bottom with buttered paper. With a tablespoon form regular rings of the dough upon this, leaving a hole in the centre of each. Bake quickly, and sift fine sugar over them as soon as they are done.
You may substitute lemon or vanilla for the rose-water.
