Toast chunks of bread crust a little on both sides.  When they are
toasted, soften with rose water in which there are both beaten eggs and
ground sugar. When they are taken out, fry in a pan with butter or fat,
far apart so that they do not touch each other.  When they are fried and
transferred into a serving dish, sprinkle with sugar and rosewater
colored with saffron.  This pleases M. Antonius, not undeservedly, for it
fattens the body, helps liver and kidneys, and stimulates passion.

Rendered Recipe

Golden Balls

6 white rolls, torn into chunks, toasted
2 oz. rosewater
4 eggs, beaten
sugar
butter
rosewater with saffron steeped in it

Add rosewater to the beaten eggs to obtain the consistancy of about half
the thickness of the beaten eggs alone.  Add sugar.  Toss the bread
chunks in the egg/rosewater mixture to moisten but not saturate.  Fry in
a pan with butter, making sure they stay separate in the cooking process.
 Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sugar and saffron colored
rosewater.  Stand back and watch out for amorous diners.
