Etymology
The term 'wafer' originates from the Old English word 'wafer', meaning a cake or a thin biscuit, derived from the Latin word 'habere' which means 'to have'. Initially, wafers were mentioned in religious contexts, served at church ceremonies. Over time, the meaning evolved, and by the Middle Ages, wafers became popular as a delicacy across Europe, often filled with sweet or savory fillings. The process of wafer production has evolved with advancements in baking techniques and now includes machinery that can produce large quantities of wafers quickly and uniformly. The modern concept of wafering, as applied to various culinary practices, has roots in these historical developments as it continues to echo the ancient traditions of wafer-making.
