Oplatky

Oplatky, make your own, using a hot iron form or mold.
5 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 teaspoons butter, melted
2 cups cold milk
3 3/4 cups cold water
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until the mixture has a "pancake" batter texture -- smooth and thin. Pour small portions -- about a heaping tablespoon -- onto a very hot iron form or mold.
Makes 98 oplatky, about 5 inches in size.

Commercially prepared Oplatky -- the thin wafers coated with honey and then broken at dinner on Christmas Eve and shared among diners -- is available from specialty food markets, Slovak and Polish churches and can be purchased through the Internet.
