I've tried the recipe.... and its actually pretty good... so even if you're not lotr obsessed you should still try it... some lotr fan or maybe an elf ^_^ 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. my recommendations: use kamquats.... and not just three, but lots of them... it gives a nice citrus flavor wheeeeeeeeee!
