[Sca-cooks] cofyns and pies

[Stefan li Rous]

Cealian commented:
<<<  Cofyns from my understanding didn`t use pans until much later  
with the
development of the spring form pan. They were made with a very stiff or
thick pastry like making a clay pot into which the ingredients were  
added
lidded then baked. Now I could be wrong and I could be understating the
premise but mostly the pastry was more a dish then a food item itself.
Shapes you can find square, round, oval, diamond, pretty much what
ever the person wanted .  >>>
