Queer Forms of Pastry in the Middle
Ages.

Queer Forms of Pastry In the Middle
Ages.
At very early period the orientals
were familiar with kind of pastry, a
mixture of -four, oil and honey, and for
centuries pastry-making went no
further, even among the nations in the
south Of Europe. But in the beginning
Of the middle -ages change began to
take place in the method of mixing the
ingredients, and some other substances
were brought into use. Butter, eggs
and salt found their way into pastry
making, and the result was manifest
improvement. Paste next came to be
used rs an Enclosure for meat, seasoned
with spices, etc. Afterward II went q
step further, the next use being for the
Enclosure of creams, fruit, preserves,
etc, and later still II began to take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found. In the
early stages of English cookery the
pastry cases were called collins or
"coffynes," and were made in various
sizes from ''gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the 'tartes OF fllesche," to
the "smalle coffynes" for "tartolcttes"
of "fische or filesche." mixed with
"stuf of boylled fgges ground and
good powdure and spices"
Petruchio, in "The Tanning OF the
Shrew," II may here be noted, calls a
little cap "a custard coffin" These cof-
fins correspond with the "vol-au-vent"
of to-day. The art Of making very light
pastry, such as puff paste, is probably
a modern one, but pastry Of several
kinds was anciently used. For meat
pastry butter was dissolved in boiling
water, and worked into q soft mass
with fine -four. AS 1t cooled II would
set in any form desired. Another paste
of flaky kind WINS made very much as
at present, while still another kind,
called pam puff, WIS made Of fine -four
and the yolk Of egg, no water at all be-
ing used. This was for the finer kinds
