If you’ve ever tried to watch all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back, you know that you need to be prepared with some serious snacks to make it through. And if the famous elven lembas bread can sustain Frodo and Sam through the wastelands of Mordor, then it should be able to keep you going through all 9.3 hours of the movies. 11.4 if you do the extended editions. Might want to make a second batch for that.
What you'll need:
3 eggs
1 cups honey
3 kumquats, whole (can substitute orange zest and a bit of juice if desired)
2 teaspoon orange flower or rose water (optional)
3 ounces chopped almonds or macadamia nuts (fruits of the Mallorn tree)
¼ cup melted butter
2 ¼ cup flour (barley flour of 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.
2. Blend on high for 2-4 minutes.
3. Add 1 cup of the flour.
4. Blend for a minute or two.
5. Put mixture into a bowl and add the remaining flour and the salt. Whisk or stir until well blended.
6. Bake a small amount of dough at a time on a pizzelle or iron about 15 seconds or until lightly brown, for a flat bread like texture.
7. Wrap in a leaf and tie with a string!
They say one bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man, but feel free to come back for seconds! ...trust me, you'll want to! This stuff is slightly fluffy, but still fulfilling. I think it would be a great addition to a cup of soup or chile! This is by far one of my most requested recipes, because hey, who doesn't like The Lord of the Rings?! It's simple enough that LOTR fans of all ages can help make it, but also delicious enough that everyone will enjoy the finished product.
