Per Sara's request, here's the lembas recipe I use when I have a craving for elf bread.
From http://www.robinmckinleysblog.com/recipes/?p=1171 cups sour milk or buttermilk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 to 1 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
about 3 1/2 cups flour
Combine ingredients and work with hands into a soft, pliable dough. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll about 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares, circles, or other fun shapes (I like to use cookie cutters). Bake on a lightly floured griddle over VERY low heat until done, flipping after 10 min or so. They should turn a light brown color on both sides but not burn.
And a few other versions too:
