Rolled oats are a modern invention. Would the recipe work with whole oats
or oatmeal in the old sense?

Also, can you think of any period recipes that are reasonably similar to
this? Taking a modern recipe and substituting period ingredients isn't a
very reliable way of getting a period recipe, since lots of things other
than ingredients change over time.
