If you are a Tolkien fan, then you will remember the Elven Lembas
waybread. Not having a clue as to what it might be, I thought it might
be on the sweet side, so I concocted a lemon square cookie bar recipe
adapted from I believe the Joy of Cooking. If memory serves it didn't
rise very much.

Years ago when my youngest nephew was small, 3-4 or so, my brother and
his wife were worried that he wasn't eating much. They came by one day
and I suggested my version of Lembas, he tried some and wanted more. If
I recall there was only enough sweetness to keep one from puckering from
the sourness of the lemon.
