1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg white, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Special equipment: 2 nonstick baking sheets or shallow baking pans; a muffin tin with 6 (1/2-cup) muffin cups

1
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350F.
2
Butter baking sheets.
3
Stir together cheese, flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4
Mix together butter and egg white in a blender at low speed, then add milk and cheese mixture and blend just until smooth.
5
Working in batches of 6, drop scant teaspoons of batter about 3 inches apart onto a buttered baking sheet.
6
Spread each dollop with the back of a spoon into a 3-inch round (don't worry if batter doesn't spread evenly).
7
Make a 1/2-inch hole in center of each round with your fingertip.
8
Bake wafers, 1 sheet at a time, until golden, about 5 minutes.
9
To form cloaks, immediately remove wafers with a very thin metal spatula and drape into muffin cups.

(Wafers will crisp as they cool.)

If wafers harden before draping, return to oven for a few seconds to soften.
12
Cool baking sheets between batches and rebutter sheets only if wafers begin to stick.

Make more wafers in same manner.
