Wafers (Description only)

We haven't yet tried this recipe. But we'd love to hear about it if you do.



Wafers
 
Another speciality, which probably originated in France and the word may have come from the French 'gofer' meaning to flute or crisp. They have been made in Kent since the twelfth century.

To make them you need extra-fine flour, which is mixed to a batter with sugar, butter and milk, perhaps flavoured with nutmeg or rosewater. The batter is cooked in special round, or square, wafer irons [could these be Waffle Irons?], which had long handles so that they could be held over the fire.
