Crumb Kaka (Thin Wafer Cookies)

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

Crumb Kaka are delicate, lacy wafer cookies traditionally made on a stovetop waffle iron. The batter is thin and pourable, producing crisp, cone‑like cookies that are perfect for ice‑cream cones, sandwiches, or simply dusted with powdered sugar. This recipe includes a classic vanilla version and optional chocolate, orange‑cardamom, and ginger‑five‑spice variations.
