Opłatki Christmas Wafers
Opłatki are thin, rectangular wafers made of flour and water, traditionally used during Christmas celebrations in Poland. The word opłatek (plural: opłatki) comes from the Latin word oblatum, which means "to offer." The tradition surrounding the opłatek is deeply rooted in Polish culture and is one of the most cherished aspects of the Christmas season.
