Here are a few recipes I lifted from Sass years ago.
Bear
Of the Mixture of Paste...Your course Wheat-crust should be kneaded with hot
water, or Mutton broth, and good store of butter, and the paste stiff and
tough, because that Coffin must be deep.
Gervase Markham, The English Hous-wife, 1615
To make Paste another Way. Take butter and ale, and seeth them together;
then take your flower, and put there into three egs, sugar, saffron, and
salt.
The Good Huswives Handmaid for Cookerie, 1588
Another Way. Then make your paste with butter, fair water, and the yolks of
two or three Egs, and so soone as ye have driven your paste, cast on a
little sugar, and rosewater, and harden your paste afore in the oven. Then
take it out, and fill it, and set it in againe...
