Scribilita
A Scribilita (also Scriblita or Scriplita ) was understood in ancient Rome to be a thin cake that was a kind of cheesecake . It was eaten hot and consisted of flour and cheese over which honey was poured. According to another source, the original Scribilitae were made with semolina. There was also sheep cheese, honey, eggs, pine nuts and salt; then the mass was placed on a dough made of wheat flour, eggs, butter and salt and baked. A recipe is described in Catos De agri cultura .
