Wafers seem to have been widely eaten in period Europe, and pizelle
irons seem to be a pretty good way to recreate the shape and pattern of
a wafer. Pizelles tend to be made according to a somewhat different
recipe, with eggs usually separated, more sugar, etc., but they are
presumably a reasonably close descendant.

Gervase Markham's "The English Hus-Wife", c. 1615, gives a wafer recipe
that works quite well with a pizelle iron.
