Communion Wafers -- Good Shepherd

By RogRot

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups white flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients with butter (as when making pie crust). Add the 1½ cups of buttermilk. Let dough stand for about 15 minutes before rolling out on floured surface (our ladies use a pastry cloth).

The ladies who make our communion wafers use a clean mini-blind to measure and use a pattern cutter to score the dough. This makes the wafers uniform in size. They score the dough before transferring it to a cookie sheet.

For convection oven: Bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.

For regular oven: Bake at 400 degrees until lightly browned (approximately 10 minutes).
