Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will help to release the orange's essential oils and give your wafers a more intense flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the wafers tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the wafers to hold their shape better.
Bake the wafers until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the wafers cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
