Hořické trubičky are rolled wafers produced in the town of Hořice and neighbouring municipalities in the Czech Republic. The rolls are from 5 to 19 centimetres long and light beige in colour. They have the scent and taste of a wafer, with a crunchy, smooth and porous texture.
The wafers are made from only six ingredients - wheat flour, powdered milk, sugar, water, egg yolks and vegetable oil. They come in different varieties, so the rolls can be filled, half-coated, coated and sprinkled. When filled, the filling consists of whipped butter cream with cocoa powder and vanilla.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Mariánskolázeňské oplatky are wafers with an unusually large and round shape, produced in the municipalities of Mariánské Lázně and Velka Hled'sebe in the Czech Republic since 1856. The final product consists of two thin wafers glued together by a layer of filling, which can be made with hazelnuts or cocoa.
The edge is crumbled, and the wafers break with a characteristical crack once they are bitten into. The wafers are either light brown or cream in color, consisting of wheat flour, sugar, egg yolks, salt, starch, and flavorings. The fillings have a texture that is granular, while the flavor is delicately sweet.
Karlovarské oplatky are flat wafers made according to an old, traditional recipe in the area of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic since the mid-18th century when they were originally homebaked. As evidence, today there are the oldest wafer-making irons in the Karlovy Vary Museum.
In the past, cooks would make wafers sprinkled with sugar for the guests of the Karlovy Vary spa. The wafers have a diameter of 19 centimeters and, in the middle, there is a water fountain or a chamois, a symbol of the spa town. The thermal spring water is used in the production process, acting as a moisturizer for the wafers.
Karlovarské trojhránky are traditionally made wafers, produced from the Karlové oplatky wafers when they are cut in eight pieces, forming small triangles and can be sold either individually or in batches of several pieces. They are produced in the area of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic since the mid-18th century, when they were originally home-baked.
The whole wafers have a diameter of 19 centimeters and, in the middle, there is a water fountain or a chamois, a symbol of the spa town. Thermal spring water is used in the production, acting as a moisturizer for the wafers. They are sprinkled with sugar, hazelnuts, almonds, cocoa, vanilla or cinnamon, and then baked until they are crisp, thin and develop their characteristical flavor and scent.
