Crossword Genius

Biscuit, Western fare cooked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wafer

'biscuit' is the definition.
(wafer is a kind of biscuit)

'western fare cooked' is the wordplay.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'cooked' indicates an anagram.
'fare' is an anagram of 'afer'.
'w'+'afer'='WAFER'

(Other definitions for wafer that I've seen before include "Light thin biscuit" , "Host's" , "thin stuff" , "Ice cream's biscuit" , "Thin, crisp biscuit or bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
