Like the previous recipe, the only close match for this one is from Ancient Cookery.

Farsure for chekins. Take the zolkes of harde egges, and bray hom smal, and take fauge and parsel and hew hit smal, and medel (mingle) hom wel togedur, and do therto raisynges of corance, and pouder of canel, and pouder of ginger, and do into the chekyns, and parboyle hom, and roste hom, and do as I faide tofore.  [Ancient Cookery (England, 1425)]
