What Tolkien says about Lembas

Some other things we can guess.

The recipe:

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