Even though I am positive that you want the Angel's Food recipe from the Sent
Sovi that others have already provided, I'm sending this recipe from de Nola.
It's for Angel's Dish. (I am using Vincent Cuenca's translation, but
Mistress Brighid's is on the Florilegium.)
Angel's Dish
Ruperto de Nola
translation by Vincent Cuenca
For twelve serving dishes, take an azumbre of milk when making fresh
cheese curds, and take the curds and put them into the milk, and take nine ounces
of sugar and put it in; and take a quarter of aged cheese, which is four
Castilian ounces, and grate it, and grate an equal amount of dry bread, and take
twelve egg yolks and beat them with the cheese and breadcrumbs and a bit of
milk to stir it around, and fold it in with the milk and curds, then take some
mint and grind it well, and add two maravedis' worth of saffron, and a bit of
milk to thin it, and put it in the pot with the rest, and when it is all of a
good color place it on the coals well away from the fire so that the smoke does
not touch it, and constantly stir it in one direction, and when you that it is
very thick taste it for flavor, and if you see that it is good, set it apart
and cover it well and let it rest while the food is prepared, and grind a
quarter of sugar and the quantity of cinnamon that you deem appropriate and mix it
with the sugar in the mortar to scatter over the serving bowls.
I've quite often thought of making this one even though I absolutely adore
Angel's Food!! (prefer to use orangewater rather than rosewater, though)
A sus ordenes,
