PRECEDELLA MADE OF ALMONDS (Rumpolt 1581, fol. 169b, #57)
[57] Take sugar and rosewater, boil up [together], so that it becomes not
too thick, stir grated almonds into this boiled sugar, take it from the fire
when it is well dried. When you take it away, take one to three spoons of
good white pounded sugar, stir it into the almonds, make this almond dough
longish with your hands, strew white sugar onto it on the upper and the lower
side, so that nothing sticks to your hands. And when you have made it
longish, form small pretzels from it, put them into a warm oven and bake them
quite slowly, they will get a fine white color.
