We did wafers for our Northern Lights feast last spring. Used both the sweet 
and savory recipes. I found that the savory (with cheese) one worked better 
after the iron was well heated from having made about a hundred of the sweet 
variety. My (okay on loan from my Mother-in-law) iron is an electric by 
Villaware. I have also found that I can get a crisper wafer by using a 
thinner batter consistency. Oh and they store better if sprinkled with some 
granulated sugar in the sealed plastic baggie; less softening and sticking 
together. Like Stefan and Drake, I'm still working on the fine art of wafer 
making. Keep those recipe variations coming! I've learned that my husband's 
Aunt has a nonelectric wafer maker and hope to compare notes with her after 
Pennsic. She is Norwegian and makes 'em "like back home."
