Lembas Bread

As a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I jumped at the opportunity to try my hand at making some Elvish waybread! Although I've come across several different recipes before, this one looked the most promising, and I (along with my friends) was very satisfied with the results.

Lembas Bread
Adapted from The Weeping Time Lord
10 servings

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp honey
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla

 1. Preheat oven to 425F degrees.

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the butter and mix well until fine granules form.

4. Add the sugar and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly.

5. Add the cream, honey, and vanilla until a nice, thick dough forms.

6. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into roughly 3 inch squares and transfer to a cookie sheet.

7. Criss-cross each square from corner to corner, but do not cut through the dough. I did this using a pizza wheel, but you can just as easily use a regular kitchen knife.

8. Bake for roughly 10-15 minutes until they are set and lightly golden.

9. Enjoy!

Note: Although the original recipe called to eat this at room temperature, I really enjoyed them fresh out of the oven. Also, for your viewing pleasure!
