Hmm. doesn't say that in the recipe that I have (Cariadoc's redaction in
the _Miscellany_) but you may be right. However, no one in my circle likes
it with just the flour and water paste, so I cheat and use puff pastry. It
is easy, the dough packs into a cooler well, and I never have any
leftovers. In fact, my daughter's friend Kelly puts on her sweet and
pleading face when we do meal planning before an event and says "Can we
_please_ have Icelandic chicken again? Please?" and then they all join
in... I'm rather tired of it myself...
