Lembas and ale

If anyone is watching The Two Towers on video tonight, you may consider replacing the popcorn with lembas–or “waybread”.

3 eggs

1 cup honey (preferably wild honey)

1 tablespoon grated orange peel or three kumquats or one large finger of a hand of Buddha.

2 teaspoons orange flower water (optional)

3 oz blanched almonds

1/4 cup melted butter

2-1/4 cups semolina flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Place eggs, honey, orange peel or other fruit, orange flower water, and almonds in blender. Blend on high for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the flour. Blend for 1 minute. Scrape into a bowl and add remaining flour and salt. Whisk or stir until well blended. Bake lembas on a pizzelle or krumkake iron 15 seconds each or until lightly brown. You may substitute a waffle iron but add a teaspoon of baking powder. The texture will not be quite accurate in a waffle iron. * 

Alternatively, you could simply munch on fishessss.
