Wafers

There are many ways of making wafers, but however made, they must be baked in the same way--that is, in irons made for the purpose, and called wafer-irons. These irons should be used as follows. Heat an iron on both sides over a moderate fire. Rub it inside with a little butter, put a tea-spoonful of the wafer batter into it, close the iron upon this almost immediately, and put it on the fire. When cooked upon one side, turn it upon the other. Cut away the superfluous paste round the edges, and roll the wafer on a stick while it is still warm. Put in another spoonful of batter, and repeat until all the batter is used. Keep the wafers in a tin box in a dry place till wanted. They are generally served with the sweets.
