Here's something I found for Lembas:
Ingredients
6 TBSP butter or margarine, slightly softened
2 cups self-rising flour
1 TBSP granulated sugar
1/2 cup raisins/rolled oats/granola (optional)
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup milk
4 TBSP heavy cream
Mallorn leaves
With a pastry blender or 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/rolled oats/granola. 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

RAISINS???? Ew! No self respecting lembas baker would use raisins or granola, surely!

Thanks for the recipe Seamus!
I've got to copy it down and give it a try. I'll let you know the results.
