waferlike

Delicate and crisp

Resembling a wafer—thin, flat, and crisp.

The word usually describes food with similar qualities to communion wafers or vanilla wafers: waferlike cookies, sliced waferlike thin.

It can extend to non-food items sharing that delicate flatness: waferlike semiconductor chips.
