Part 3/9:
The recipe for prince biskets hails from Hugh Platt’s 1602 publication titled "Delights For Ladies, to Adorn Their Persons, Tables, Closets, and Distillatories; with Beauties, Banquets, Perfumes and Waters."

Ingredients include fine flour, sugar, eggs, rose water, and a generous amount of caraway seeds.
