PRESIDENT MONROE'S WAVERLY JUMBLES - AUTHENTIC RECIPE!
The Monroes often served Waverly Jumbles, the original 1800's recipe from the Monroe Family Recipes Cookbook follows, however I have posted the 'updated' version - which is the same recipe but with more specific directions. The original recipe says "One pound of flour, one-half pound of butter, three-fourths pound of brown sugar, two eggs, one-half teaspoon of nutmeg, two tablespoons of rose water. Roll out long and cut into strips, join into rings and bake." Time to make doesn't include the dough chilling time.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jumbles turned out flat and dense. They didn't have the light and fluffy texture that everyone else is talking about.
