"Kerue out keyntlich kyrnels above, in the

Could this be a recipe for making a castle showpiece? In that case, the above
might translate as "Carve out squarish (?) pieces (Keyntlich = something to do
with square? kyrnels= kernals) from the top edges of the coffin in the manner
of battlements and dry it (the castle) until hard in an oven or in the sun. "
Could "ew ardent" be "eau ardent", ie strong spirits?
A question: did period cooks ever set alcohol alight as in flambe? A castle
in flames would be quite a showpiece, indeed.
Just some guesses (some pretty far out, I'm sure).
