:'''TARTLETES. XX.VIII. IX.'''

:Take Veel ysode and grinde it smale. take harde Eyrenn isode and yground & do �erto with prunes ''hoole''. dates. [[icorue]]. pynes and Raisouns coraunce. hool spices & powdour. sugur. salt, and make a litell coffyn and do �is fars �erinne. & bake it & serue it forth.

=== Notes ===
* ''hoole'', whole.

== Modern Recipe 1==
Take veal, boiled and grind it small. Take hard boiled eggs and grind it with whole prunes, dates cored, pinenuts, raisins, whole spices and powdered, sugar and salt. Make a little coffin, fill them and bake and servie it forth.

=== Ingredients ===
* 500g [[veal]]
* 6 whole pitted [[prune]]s
* 8-10 whole pitted [[date]]s
* 100g [[raisin]]s
* 50g [[pine nut]]s
* 2 hard boiled [[egg]]s
* 1/2 tsp [[mace]]
* 1/2 tsp white [[pepper]]
* 1/2 tsp [[nutmeg]]
* 6 whole [[cloves]]

=== Method ===
#Slice the veal into strips and boil it with a dash of vinegar and a pinch of salt. Hard boil and cool two eggs. While they boil, mince the prunes, dates, raisins and pine nuts and mix in a bowl. Mince the veal and mash the eggs when they are done, and add them to the bowl. Then add the spices and mix the lot thoroughly.
#Using your favourite shortcrust pastry, after first greasing the muffin tray, line the molds with the pastry. Spoon in the filling, and cover with more pastry.
#Cook in a medium oven for 25 minutes (fan forced convection) or a bit longer in a conventional oven. When the pastry is golden brown it is done. Serve it first (not fourth, that's too long to wait!).

=== Variations ===
Changes in the balance of taste are easily achieved by altering the quantities of filling types. The above recipe is about as fruity as I would want to go. You could use more meat, and less fruit. A sweeter tart could be made by adding sugar (it's in the recipe, but I don't have a sweet tooth, so I left it out). More pepper would make it spicier. You could also use saffron, cumin, long pepper, anise or other spices. This would work fine as a pie, too, rather than a tart. [http://www.elcasinoenlinea.org casino en linea]
