In modern times, darioles are baked in dariole molds, which are small and deep. In period sources they are sometimes paired in menus with <I>leschefrites</I> or lechefres: broad, shallow tarts with fillings akin to custard, which take their name from dripping pans. This suggests that the period dariole was seen as a different kind of pastry from lechefres, which might lend some credibility to the assumption that it was small, deep, and narrow like its modern counterpart. Some support for deep darioles in period is found in [[daryols (recipe)|this recipe]].

Analysis

In modern times, darioles are baked in dariole molds, which are small and deep. In period sources they are sometimes paired in menus with lechefres or leschefrites: broad, shallow tarts with fillings akin to custard, which might take their name from dripping pans. This suggests that the period dariole was a kind of pastry which made a contrast with lechefres, which might lend some credibility to the assumption that it was small, deep, and narrow like its modern counterpart. Some support for deep darioles in period is found in this recipe.

However, using normal 9" pie pans, if not accurate, is at least a practical adaptation.
