[Artemisia] fighter biscuits are period !!! :)

[Catherine Helm-Clark]

Ok, it's technically not the fighter biscuit recipe we all know and  
love,
but I was cruising some period Dutch cookbooks and found the following:

1.21. Dough to make "pipes".
Take cheese from Gouda and eggs. Grind together with white flour. Lay  
it on dry flour  and make small biscuits of it.

This is from the Wel ende edelike spijse, a Dutch cookbook from  
around 1500.
You can cruise this cookbook at:

All I need now is some gouda...

Enjoy
