Hi all from AM
wracking my brain, I'm SURE there's a recipe for a custardy tart with
almonds in it in the period corpus. Could it be a modernization becuase the
modner cook didn't want to bother with almond milk and thought almond
extract would be an acceptable substitute?

Also, there's the modnern convention of creaming together butter and sugar.
Have we ever seen medieval instructions for doing that?
