CAUTION: these are my rough translations.  There may be errors.  And
yes, Cocboeck (1593) is Dutch.  "Guldelingen" is presumably an apple
variety, but I couldn't identify the word.


45 How to make a milk-crustless-flan.

Take to a jar of milk a spoon of flour and a good 20 eggs small-beaten and leave together to boil a quarter-part of a hour. Then put therewith a little butter and a bit of salt and sugar, until it is as sweet as you want and then put in the cups and leave to bake. You might also make this in a dish.

46 How to make apple-crustless-flans.

Take "guldelingen", peel and cut it in pieces and put in a pot with some wine and butter and leave so to stand to braise. Rub apart very small and then put therewith half as much grated white-bread as you have apples and five egg yolks, ginger and sugar. Mix this all together. This is for two dishes. Rub your dishes with butter and then add your paste and set your dishes on a coal-fire and leave to bake until it is so stiff that it lifts off the rims. Then sprinkle thereon sugar and cinnamon and serve to the tables.

47 How to make a quince-crustless-flan.

Take three or four quinces, boil it very soft in water and then take cream, eggs and some flour and mix together. If you wish you might put therewith sugar and herbs and make hereof a custard in a dish or cup and leave to bake.

48 How to make a special crustless-flan.

Take four ounces of peeled almonds, four ounces of rice, an hour cooked in sweet-milk. Pound this together very small with a bit of rose-water, then put therewith seven or eight eggs small-beaten, put it together through a sieve and then mix therewith sweet cream as much as you think good and sugar as sweet as you want. Make this warm together in a pot then put therein four ounces of fresh butter. Then set this together in a dish on coal-fire under and above and leave to bake and then sprinkle thereon what you want and serve.
