Lembas (first try)

For any of you familiar with the tale of Middle Earth, you will probably be familiar with lembas. The Elvenbread, created by its namesake, for sustenance on long journeys. This rustic bread is given to the Fellowship as it is easily carried, and rich in energy. There have been a number of interpretations as to what these biscuits could be made of, and here is the first attempt of mine. Lembas, are traditionally wrapped in Mallorn leaves, so if you want a truly authentic replication, I wish thee good speed.

Tolkien mentioned in his book, that they are crispy on the outside, and golden on the edges. The inside is paler and softer. They are thin, and contain honey. The rest of the ingredients, have to be implied.

Ingredients

1-3 tbsp. of honey
1/2 tbsp. baking powder
A pinch of salt
4 tbsp. chilled butter
1/6 cup brown sugar (or white if you prefer)
Juice of a mandarin
1/4 cup (almond) milk (you may need to add more, but start off with this)
The rind of that mandarin
A swig of lemon juice
A handful of raisins
Dried cherries or other berries (optional)
1 tsp. cinnamon
Vanilla extract
1 1/4 flour (white or a half mix of whole-wheat)

1. Preheat your oven to 220-200 degrees celsius
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and the pinch of salt
3. Knead the appropriate amount of butter in to the mixture, the result should be similar to scones (should be crumbly, a little bit like fine bread-crumbs)
4. Thoroughly mix in the milk
5. Followed by the sugar 
6. Add the mandarin juice and lemon juice (try not to mix too much)
7. Now add all the remaining ingredients, folding them in (again don't over mix) 
8. Roll the batter out, making square shapes. 
9. Bake in the oven for approx. 10 min. 
10. Go on an epic journey and eat your lembas
1. or just have a LOTR marathon
