Back Oblaten, also called Baking Wafers or Wafer Papers, are round edible paper wafers that are integral to the baking of traditional German Lebkuchen each Christmas. The gingerbread dough is placed on top of the back oblaten to help the dough keep its shape while baking and to ensure the biscuit is crispy on the outside while moist and soft on the inside. Comes with a recipe (in German) for Nuss-Makronen (Nut Macaroons). These back oblaten wafers are 50 mm. across (we also carry them in a larger 70 mm. size). Vegan. 1.3 oz package (37 grams); that's about 100 wafers to a package. Imported from Germany.
