It's time for another Geek food recipe!
Feel like watching a Lord of the Rings marathon in costume, or just with some friends and want to make it interesting? Try some Lembas Bread!
Here's what you need:
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup honey
3 kumquats, whole (can substitute orange zest and a bit of juice if desired)
2 teaspoons orange flower or rose water (optional)
3 ounces chopped almonds or macadamia nuts (fruits of the Mallorn tree)
¼ cup melted butter
2¼ cup flour (barley flour, if you want to be really accurate)
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:1. Put the eggs, butter, honey, kumquats, rose or orange flower water, and nuts in a food processor or blender. Blend on high for 2-4 minutes.
2. Add 1 cup of the flour. Blend for a minute or two.
3. Put mixture into a bowl and add the remaining flour and the salt. Whisk or stir until well-blended.
4. Bake a small amount of dough (about two tablespoons) at a time on a pizzelle or iron about 15 seconds or until lightly brown, for a flatbread-like texture. They can also be baked at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Wrap in a leaf and tie with a string.
WARNING: Be *VERY* aware of what type of leaf you are wrapping the bread in, and make sure you watch whatever your wrap is. Honestly it's suggested by many to make a clean wrap with paper or something that will not contaminate the food with bugs, bacteria, or Mordor evil.
Once you have your bread created, sit back and enjoy a few Tolkien movies!
