If you're an internet weirdo like me, you are aware that there is currently and official and at least one unofficial cookbook based on the epic book and television series, "Game of Thrones." This series for some reason inspires people too cook. I guess with all the back-stabbing and wolves howling and dragon snatching and king slaying, eventually you could probably corner a Stark into saying, "Dinner is coming."
So here are a recipe to eat while you read, watch or just to unknowingly feed to your loved ones. More to come!
Arya's Lemon Cakes
Makes 10–12 small cakes
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon lemon verbena oil or lemon extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried lemon verbena, crushed
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon lemon verbena oil or lemon extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried lemon verbena, crushed
1. In a large bowl, mix milk, sugar, and yeast. Set aside for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Mix in egg, lemon verbena oil, 1 tablespoon of the butter, salt, flour, and dried lemon verbena. Beat together 5 minutes until a smooth dough is formed.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and rise in a warm spot for about 11/2 hours (until doubled in volume).
4. Heat griddle over high heat. Test by sprinkling on a little water. If griddle sizzles and water evaporates, it’s ready.
5. Lower heat to medium-low. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter on the griddle. Place muffin rings on griddle and fill halfway with batter. Cover loosely with foil and cook until cakes are browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
6. Using spatula or tongs, flip over each small cake and ring. Cover and cook another 5 minutes. Serve warm.

A Word of Wisdom: Muffin or crumpet rings will keep your cakes thicker and compact. If you don’t have any handy, you can cut open both ends of short, metal food cans—like those used to pack tuna. Remove the labels and wash them very thoroughly. When you’re ready to make lemon cakes, flour the inside well then use them instead of muffin rings.
