Jumbles

Cream together butter or fat and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat eggs thoroughly in a separate bowl, then add them gradually to the butter-sugar mixture while stirring constantly.

Stir in sweet milk to the mixture, combining well.

Fold in the flour sifted with baking powder gently, using a spatula, until just combined; do not overmix.

Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star or decorative nozzle.

Pipe 3-4 inch long strips of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle ground almonds lightly over each jumble strip.

Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
