HELEN'S FRUIT JUMBLES 
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. lard or butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Vanilla
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 c. raisins
2 eggs
Flour

Mother always rolled out her jumbles but the less flour the better. I usually mix with my mixer as long as possible then take out about 1/3 of dough and work in flour on board. Sprinkle flour on top; roll to 1/2 inch thick; cut with large round cutter and somehow get it on a greased baking sheet. When they're stiff with flour, they look nice but we don't care for the looks - we like them thick and soft.

This is how my grandmother gave me the instructions.
