Curna Jumble.

Five pounds granulated sugar, 3 pounds lard or butter, 12 eggs, and 1½ ounces ammonia, 11½ pounds flour, and enough milk to make a stiff dough. Take sugar and lard and break up the same as for pie crust, then slowly add the eggs; do not cream it; put in about 1 quart milk and dissolve the ammonia in it. Lastly add the flour. This mixture is laid out with canvas bag and star tube on dusted pans in the shape of half moons. When baked and cool and dry stick two together by putting jelly between them. These jumbles are baked in a heat of 370 degrees F., and are sold for one cent each or 6 for five cents.
