This manuscript is dated before 1485.

I have done my best to provide an accurate, but readable transcription. Common abbreviations have been expanded, the letters thorn and yogh have been replaced with their modern equivalents, and some minor punctuation has been added.

I could not find any other versions of this recipe. While there are a number of vaguely similar recipes in other sources, the similarities might only be due to the Crophill recipe consisting of very common ingredients.
