Ten recipes reflecting the stages of the Hobbits’ journey in Lord of the Rings. We go from the Shire to the mines of Moria and finish with the Grey Havens. Enjoy and happy eating!

1. Bilbo’s Tea Cake

zest of one lemon (or orange if you prefer)
3/4 c. butter
1 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 1/4 c. flour (any soft flour will do)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. dried cranberries or currents
juice of one lemon(orange)

Cream together butter, sugar and zest. Stir together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each. Add dry ingredients and lemon(or orange...) juice and mix Just Until Combined. Spoon into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 min. or until golden. Wrap and store overnight before serving to Gandalf for Afternoon Tea.
-Note- To impress the Wizard (and the Dwarves...), glaze with a mixture of half a lemon(not orange) and 1/2 c. of icing sugar. Pour over the loaf before hiding in the refrigerator overnight. Perfect for unexpected parties.
