Elvish Bread. One small bite is enough to fill a grown man!

* 1 tablespoon of baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon of salt
* 8 tablespoons of cold butter (1 stick)
* 1/3 cup of brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup/honey

* 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

## steps

2. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
3. Add the butter and mix with a fork or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine granules.
4. Add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly into the mixture.
5. Add the milk/cream, honey, and vanilla.
6. Stir with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.
