Spelt Torte. Clean the spelt very well and cook it in fat broth, then drain it; get a pound of new cheese and half a pound of old, grinding or grating both; get a veal belly that is well cooked by boiling and almost disintegrating, beat it with a knife, add fine spices, sugar and saffron with fifteen eggs, and mix everything together; make a pastry crust on the bottom of a pan, put the mixture in it with enough butter; when half cooked, put lasagne closely together on top, then let it cook a little more; take it out and garnish it with sugar, cinnamon and rosewater.
