GREAT RECEIPTS

siftingthepast_the-pancake-bakery_pieter-aertsen1508-1575_1560Wafer and Waffle Workshop 

September 13th

10 TO ABOUT 2

I’ve been having fun looking at receipts for our workshop. I have a 15TH  century cheese wafer, a 1700 Brown wafer and a Dutch one from Clarissa Dillon.  I plan on adding some cochineal to some and maybe  coco powder to kick it up a notch. I’m still working on the filling and thinking savory and sweet. 

The Whafles (early spelling) start simple from Hannah Glass, and goes to two Dutc receipts using yeast. One includes honey and brown sugar and the other with rose water. 

Nancy will be bring a few receipts of her own and we both look forward to testing the many Wafer and Waffle receipts.  There is still room in the workshop, so come and join us for a fun day.
