We found Honey Wafers mentioned in a 1927 copy of Delineator magazine, and looked into their history a bit. Turns out It all started in 1925 when Mama Anisi brought her Honey Wafer recipe to America from Macedonia. This recipe is part of our Valentine's Day series. See more at the links below.

To strain honey, use cheesecloth and press it through. However, although this old technique calls for straining the honey, most commercial honey is already strained--only strain if you are using honeycomb honey.
Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup strained honey
1/4 cup lemon zest
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar (for pressing)
Preparation
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar.
Add whole egg and egg yolk.
Stir in honey and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together.
Slowly integrate into mixture.
Once mixture is fully integrated, drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet in 1/2-inch mounds.
Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in a mixture of flour and sugar.
Brush the top with egg white.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, until top becomes a golden brown.
Remove from baking sheet and place on wire cooling rack.
