Anyway, I found this lovely middle Dutch (I swear, try saying this out loud without sounding like the Swedish Chef. It's not possible!)recipe for pastries:
wasten**
stoet jn enen mortijer hondert okernoten
ende ende een cleijn hantvol amandellen vel
ontstucken hier stotet xx goyer appellen
wel gheschelt sonder kerlhuys doter potsucar
ghenbaer ende canel
greyn voer den ghenbaer voer den ghenbaer
ende weruet dese spijse met een luttel sofferaen
Luttel sofferaen....*cue giggles*
So, the English translation courtesy of Christianne Muusers :
Grind hundred walnuts and a small handfull of almonds very finely in a mortar. [With] this grind 20 good apples, well peeled, without core. Add powdered sugar, ginger and ground cinnamon, or use grains of paradise instead of ginger. Colour this mixture with some saffron.
This sounds like a "gluten free vegan" pie crust. Honestly, it sounds pretty good. I'm not sure where I could get pre ground up walnuts - maybe I need to get a grinder finally- but it's basically walnut flour, almond flour, sugar, apple sauce, and yellow food coloring - or COOKIES!!!!!
:-D
