Translation of a 16th century Italian Recipe.
From Christoforo di Messisbugo, Banchetti composizioni di vivande e apparecchio generale (Lucio Spineda, Venice, 1610)
p81r A fare minestra d'voua rotte all'ongaresca, per piatti dieci. (To make a soup of broken eggs in the Hungarian style, for ten plates.)
Take forty eggs, and beat them well in a vessel with two small cases1 of verjuice, and one of water, and when you have beaten all these things together well, pass [them] through a sieve, then take a well washed pot, and line2 it with half a pound of fresh butter, and half a pound of sugar, then have a cauldron of water above the fire, that is boiling, and put the said pot inside so it is standing covered when you place it, and mix continuously with a spatula until so much; when these eggs firm a little, like it may be a sauce, then serve it with sugar and cinnamon over.
