Lembas Bread from Lord of the Rings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Okay, maybe that’s a stretch. Without the magic of the Elves, this stuff won’t fill you up for a long day on your feet. But who cares? It’s super fun and a must-make for my fellow Middle-Earthers. Sweet, crisp, and long-lasting, Elven lembas bread is the kind of thing you should make for road trips and camping adventures. It won’t last for months, but it will last for a while and should fill you up when it’s time for elevenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Servings: 8<\/span><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/span><\/p>\n

2 1\u20442 cups all-purpose flour<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon baking powder<\/span>
\n1\u20442 teaspoon baking soda<\/span>
\n1\u20442 teaspoon salt<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/span>
\n1\u20442 teaspoon nutmeg<\/span>
\n1\u20442 cup butter, room temperature<\/span>
\n1\u20443 cup brown sugar<\/span>
\n2\u20443 cup heavy whipping cream<\/span>
\n2 tablespoons honey<\/span>
\n1\u20442 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/span>
\n1\u20442 teaspoon almond extract<\/span><\/p>\n

STEPS<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220\u00b0C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Add the butter and sugar and carefully beat with an electric mixer at low-medium speed until crumbly.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Pour the cream, honey, vanilla, and almond extract into the bowl and mix with a fork until a thick dough is formed.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1\/2 inch thick. Cut it into 3-inch squares and place the portions on the cookie sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Carve two shallow diagonal lines from one corner to another with a knife to form an \u201cX\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

7) Bake for 12 minutes until the bread is set and golden. Let the bread cool completely before serving. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTES<\/span><\/p>\n

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 5-7 days.<\/span><\/p>\n
