Greetings. I see two different questions here. Boiled sugar
(poured into molds) was done as early as the 13th century and there
is a recipe in the Anonymous Andalusian cookbook which is in one of
Duke Cariadoc's volumes. There is also a recipe for "sugar plate"
in Form of Curye. This isn't sugar paste, but is a boiled sugar
syrup poured into plate form.
Pulled sugar is something else, although it starts with a boiled
syrup. I haven't seen any evidence for pulled sugar within period.
What we thought was evidence was apparantly a mistranslation of
"sugar paste".
