Jelly Jumbles

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon soda
• ½ cup sour milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Flour
• Currant jelly

Steps

1. 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.
