[Sca-cooks] SWEET wafers?

[Bronwynmgn at aol.com]

I was planning on making some wafers for the hospitality suite for Known 
World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium this weekend, and noticed something very 
interesting.  The only actual wafer recipes I have in my sources are from Le 
Menagier.  None of his 5 versions mentions sugar or any other sweetening - they are 
basically flour, eggs, wine, sometimes salt, and sometimes cheese.  I've made 
these, and they've come out pretty bland, although the cheese ones come out 
kind of like cheese crackers and are passable.  I suppose using a sweet wine 
might make them a bit sweeter.

On the other hand, nearly every redaction I've seen for wafers includes sugar 
and comes out sweet, like a modern pizzelle.  Are there any period (for my 
purposes, 15th century and earlier, European) wafers recipe which call for 
sweetening in the batter?
