Lembas Bread (Lord of the Rings “authentic” Elvish bread)
Ingredients:
2 ½cups of flour (I used bread flour but you can use all purpous flour too)
1tablespoon of baking powder
¼teaspoon of salt
½ cup of butter (melted)
1/3cup of brown sugar
1teaspoon of cinnamon
½teaspoon honey
2/3cup of heavy whipping cream
½teaspoon of vanillaDirections:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix well till fine granules (easiest way is with an electric mixer). Then add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly.
Finally add the cream, honey, and vanilla and stir until a nice, thick dough forms.
Roll the dough out about 1/2 in thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.Criss-cross each square from corner-to-corner with a knife, lightly (not cutting through the dough).
Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.
***Let cool completely before eating, this bread tastes better room temperature and dry. Also for more flavor you can add more cinnamon or other spices***
