[Sca-cooks] canisoles

Cadoc said the following when asked for medieval dessert recipes:

I don't have a copy of Platina. And I just did a search in the 
Florilegium for "canisoles" and got no hits. So, could someone please 
post the recipe? Preferably a translation and any redactions they have? 
This sounds like a good item for the various holiday pot lucks coming 
up.

And Cadoc, what do you mean by "spin some hot honey over them"? Are you 
actually spinning something or do you just mean drizzling honey over 
them? And for folks who have done this, does it help to warm the honey 
in a microwave first or do you just drip it out of the bottle?

Thanks,
    Stefan
