Lembas Recipe:
2 ½ cup of Cake flour
1 cup of oatmeal flour (1 and a half cups of Oatmeal ran through the food processor for 5 mins or so will work)
½ cup of sorghum flour*
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. Vanilla sugar* (Freia Vaniljesukker)
3 tbsp. Honey or packed brown sugar (the honey gives it a beter color)
½ tsp. Salt
4 tbsp. Cream cheese room temp.
½ cup butter room temp.
1 tbsp. Lemon juice
½ tbsp Durkee vanilla butter & nut extract*
6 tbsp. heavy cream
(Optional yellow food coloring)Put in a mixing bowl the three kinds of flour, the sugars and the salt, and mix together with a fork or an electric mixer on low until blended. Add the cream cheese and butter and cut in, either with a pastry cutter or a mixer on low, till the mixture forms small pellets (a little bit smaller than Rice). Add Lemon juice VB&N extract, and cream (yellow food coloring can be added for the full effect). Mix till it comes together and forms a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins to an hour. After dough is chilled, separate in half and roll out on lightly floured surface. Cut using a round cutter, doughnut cutter or a cup of the like size, Removing all excess flour place on a cookie sheet about 1 ½ inches apart. Bake at a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 mins or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool and serve. Makes about 2 dozen depending on cutter size.

Lembas from Lothlorien :
6 TBSP butter or margarine, slightly softened
2 cups self-rising flour
1 TBSP granulated sugar
1/4 cup raisins (optional)1/4 cup nuts
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup milk
4 TBSP heavy cream
Mallorn leaves
With a pastry blender of fork, cut margarine into the flour in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Do this rapidly so the butter does not melt. Add the sugar and if desired, 1/2 cup of raisins. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until mixed. Reserve 1 TBSP of this mixture to brush the tops of the lembas. Add the cream and egg mixture to the flour and mix just until combined into a stiff, soft dough. Knead three or four times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to a 3/4" thickness and cut with an oval or leaf shaped cookie cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving 1" of space between lembas. Brush the tops of the lembas with the reserved egg-milk mixture. Bake for 12 -13 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. For safe keeping, wrap each lemba individually in a fresh, clean mallorn leaf. (If these leaves are unavailable in your area, store the lembas in a tightly closed container.) Makes about 1 1/2 dozen lembas.
