Ingredients:
4 tbsp: Water,
1 each: Egg yolk,
1/8 tsp: Saffron,
1 1/2 tbsp: Beef bone marrow,
1 cup: Flour,
1 tsp: Powdered ginger,
2 tbsp: Sugar,

Bring the water to a boil with the saffron, then allow to cool. Chill.
Sift the flour with the sugar and the salt. Cut in the butter with a
pastry blender or two knives. Work in the egg yolk and saffron-tinted
water. When the mixture is well blended, roll out on a floured board. Line
four pastry shells with the pastry, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 400f.
Lower the oven temperature to 350f. Put 1 tsp chopped marrow, a small pinch
of ginger and sugar and 1 large or two small egg yolks into each pastry
shell and bake in the oven until the egg yolks are just set. Serve hot or
cold (bleah).
Historically possible Variation: use duck eggs.
