Thin round Greater Poland sugar wafers baked between hot iron plates, sweet and snap-crisp, eaten with coffee at every Poznań cake counter. The closest cousin to the kürtős and Italian pizzelle.
The andruty kaliskie tradition is documented in Greater Poland from at least 1873 in Kalisz, the regional town 130km south of Poznań. The European Union granted the wafers Protected Geographical Indication status in 2009 under the same scheme that protects rogal świętomarciński. The thin sugar-wafer format crossed into Poznań cake counters by the late 19th century and is now sold at Cukiernia Kandulski and Cukiernia Sowa alongside the croissants.
