[Sca-cooks] Ein gefulten kuchen

[Decker, Terry D.]

No.  This is not a verb, but a noun, "Ein kuchen," or "a cake."  The key
point this will probably not be the chemically leavened, pan baked batter we
call "cake."  Cake in this time generally refers to relatively flat,
unleavened loaf of variable size made from a dough, batter or mixture.  Take
a look at the period lebkuchen (spice cake) recipes for the general idea.

The general term for baking is "gebachen," so a baked dish would be
"gebachte."  You need to be careful here, because "gebachen" can be used to
describe either baked or fried.  A phrase like "gebachen in oyl" suggests
frying rather than baking.

The Germans were into a lot of pan cooked or deep fried pastries, so I tend
to think that this is a pan cake or fritter rather than a baked item.
