How to make a Christmas wafer? It is an inseparable element of Christmas, and the custom of breaking the wafer is known not only in Poland, but also in Belarus, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We can buy it in church shops or directly from the parish priest. We can also make it ourselves.
Don’t buy the wafer, make it yourself. All you need are 3 ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen
How to prepare a wafer at home? It’s very simple. You only need 3 ingredients: two cups of flour, a glass of water and a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Just combine the flour and water in a bowl, and when you get a uniform mass, add a teaspoon of oil. The presence of fat will make the dough more elastic. Knead the mass well until it is uniform and free of lumps, then roll it out into a thin cake and cut out the appropriate shapes. It is best to cut out rectangles with a knife, but we can also use cutters. That’s all. Bake the cut wafers at 200 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes.
Can you bless the wafer yourself? Yes, but on one condition
If we celebrate holidays in accordance with the Christian faith, remember that before we share it with our loved ones, the wafer should be blessed. How to do it? You should go directly to the priest or to the church for mass, during which the priests bless the Christmas Eve wafers. We can also bless the wafer ourselves. The condition for consecrating the wafer yourself is holy water and saying a special prayer. Its content can be found on the website.
