Another version that includes sugar may be found in the
Sloane Manuscript 1986.

7. Frumenty

Take wheat, and pick it fair ... snipped

With sugar candy <http://www.pbm.com/%7Elindahl/lcc/parallel.html#f21>, 
you may sweeten it,
If it is served in [a] great lord's house.
Take black sugar for meaner men;
Beware therewith, for it will burn.

This is from the parallel translation of the Liber cure Cocorum.
It's the work of our own Cindy Renfrow.
The dating of the manuscript is 1440.
