Well, I thought Sarah was pulling our leg! ( Well, maybe not!) But here
goes, is this what the our good ancestral gggrand-mothers were using
before Mrs. Beaton came on the scene? :-)

"Another way of Jumballs.

To halfe a pound of sugar, eight egges, four yolks, as much butter as an
egge, being washed in Rose-water, and fine
flower as much as your own discretion shall see fit to make it a paste,
and so work it, and knead it well together
with an ounce of Anniseeds, and Coriander, so roule and make them up in
knots, and butter the plats, and bake
them, heat the Oven hot as for Manchet.

Experiments in Cookery, 1658 "

Well, can't see it replacing ham and egg pie, can you?
