Lembas

What's lembas? Well, in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings there is an Elvish food called lembas. It is somehow cookie-like and some LotR-fans have created their own recipes. I read through some of those and mixed some of them, leaving out one ingredient, and adding another. So, that's what I came up with:

All you need is:

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tbsp. baking powder (yes, one tablespoon)

1 pinch salt

1 stick butter

1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup buttermillk

5 tbsp. maple syrup

5 drops lemon extract

First, mix all the dry ingredients. Then, rub in the butter. Finally, add all the wet ingredients and mix until blended. The dough you get is very sticky, so use lots of flour when rolling it out to about 5 mm thick. I cut it out into squares of about 5 cm.

Then, bake on 220°C for 10-12 minutes, until just through.
