We are in Spiced Wafer season. Roughly correlating with pumpkin latte season, spiced wafer season begins in late August and hangs on through Christmas if supplies last. Get it while you can....which is part of the joy for me. So few foods are really seasonal any more.
Its part of the uniquely philly food group. Tastykakes...scrapple.... Taylor pork roll..roast pork sandwich ...cheesesteak...pepper pot soup...tomato pie....turtle soup
Its a a hard cookie that is like a much more complex ginger snap. It's made to pair with coffee on a nippy morning.
And i I like it with sharp cheddar. Just tried it with goat cheese and mango chutney...not bad.
Though ive never done it, I can imagine it would make a great pie crust.
