How to Make Lembas

  1. Preheat your pizzelle or krumkake iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a blender, combine 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel, 1 teaspoon orange flower water, and 1/2 cup slivered almonds. Blend on high speed for 3 minutes until well combined.
  3. With the blender running, gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour. Blend for 1 minute.
  4. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Whisk the batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1-2 tablespoons each) onto the hot pizzelle or krumkake iron. Bake for 15-20 seconds, or until lightly golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully remove the baked Lembas bread from the iron and let cool completely on a wire rack.
