I don't seem to have the Catalan on-line, and I don't feel like finding
it and typing it in right now, but here's our English translation.
Libre del Coch #136
De flaons
Take fresh cheese and curds that are well [drained?] and pound them well
in a mortar together with as much eggs. And [fold?] a bit of fat
cheese which is grated and minced together with the curds with a bit of
[pols] of dried mint. And then put in the mortar a little rosewater,
not too much but rather in [appropriate] measure. And then make dough
from good farina and knead it with very fine oil, kneading it well so
that it becomes very firm. And then make of the dough [coffins?] to
place the cheeses. But before filling, heat the dough a little, but
[that?] it should [remain? become?] firm. And then fill it with the
filling. And before they are all done, take some forks or [pincers?]
and [crimp?] the edge. And then take it to the fire to cook. And when
it's cooked, and [the top is browned?] a bit, then [from edge to edge?]
put on honey or a syrup of sugar and rosewater.
