[Sca-cooks] Obleys, wafers, barquillos and nieules

[Marcus Loidolt]

Benedicte, 
  But the Western Church does indeed, still make the host, ie wafer just the way you describe it, in fact it must be made that way by Roman Canon Law, #924-926 describes, using only pure wheat flour and water, unleavened, pressed into a proper shape.

  A Spanish recipe for ostias consists of one kilo of flour mixed with

  Now why doesn't the church make wafers like that?
