Happy Hobbit Day! Many Lord of the Rings fans celebrate September 22, which is Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday, and I choose to celebrate in the most Hobbit-like way possible: making food! This year, I made some lembas to snack on (the way-bread that the elves gave Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship for their travels). There are lots of recipes for lembas online, but I wasn’t totally satisfied with any of them, so I decided to combine a few and make my own. Good lembas should be a light brown, dense wafer that’s good for travel and naturally sweet. I’m constantly tweaking recipes, but this is the best I’ve found so far.
