1464 | How to shape French Rolls and Fluttes.
—Have a square tin pan eighteen inches long; lay over it a duck cloth twice longer than the pan; flute the cloth up two inches high, and two inches apart from one another. Take a rolling-pin six inches long by half an inch thick, lay it crosswise over a small ball shape right in the centre, and with both hands press it down almost to the bottom, then slightly roll the pin, taking care to leave the third of an inch intact; remove the pin, then place the shape-like roll into a section of the fluted cloth in the pan, and then proceed with five more exactly the same. Now take one of the remaining small balls, and with the hands roll it out to the length of four inches, and then place it in the fluted cloth and proceed the same with the other five.
