ENGLISH TEA CART WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks and the vanilla and beat until smooth. Combine the flour and baking powder. Stir to combine with butter mixture.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place dough in a cookie press with a 1-inch bar cookie disc with 3 stripes. Press out dough 2 inches apart. Bake until set, but not brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.
• Place glaze ingredients in a double boiler over low heat. Stir frequently until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves. Dip each end of half of the wafers in the glaze. Return to the rack to dry.
• Gently spread raspberry preserves on the flat side of each undipped wafer. Top each spread wafer with a chocolate dipped wafer to make a sandwich. Handle very carefully. Do not freeze. Store in a cool place for up to 3 weeks.

WAFERS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Allow to stand for at least 3 hours. Butter some heated wafer irons (these are not waffle irons), by rubbing them with a small knob of butter wrapped in a piece of muslin. Pour 1 tablespoon of the batter on to the lower plate of the irons and close the upper plate tight. Cook the wafer on both sides for a few minutes over hot charcoal or over a low gas flame. When cooked, remove carefully from the irons.
