[Sca-cooks] Pastelli and baked flour

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Yes. This is exactly what the French phrase for a pasty means:"doughed" -  
paste'
When food has been "doughed", it has been put in a pasty (paste, being  in 
both English and French, the old word for dough).
 
One example:
"Quomodo confiatur pastellum de medullus cervorum"
"How  to prepare a pasty of deer marrow"
