I have earned...one half portion

OK, I admit it. I have been slacking a little lately. I think the heat must be getting to me. Which is clearly no excuse if you make your living scavenging around inside the guts of a Imperial Star Destroyer for spare parts just so you can eat a meager ration. If you haven't see Star Wars Episode 7 yet (you need to get on that if you haven't) I am not going to reveal much about the plot of the movie here so no need for spoiler alert warning. One thing I found cool is that Star Wars actually released a recipe that goes along with food that is consumed by one of the characters on screen. The character Rey eats a bread ration that she makes by rehydrating a packet that is given to her by her boss. Now you too can have this bread in your own home!

(Before I give you your portion for reading this blog entry, I must give a shout out to my friend Erik Meyer who gifted me with my first portion of this bread. He has a blog too - you should go check it out at The Fine Art of Listening.)

Now - the portion bread:

• 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
• 4 tbsp cake flour
• 1 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp matcha powder
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp whole milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

To make and distribute, mix the flour, sugar, matcha powder and baking powder and give out in small bags, and make sure to include the instructions below as well as to make sure they add the wet ingredients as well. 

To make the bread, grease a coffee mug with the oil, mix all the ingredients together in the mug and microwave on high for 45 seconds. It won't look EXACTLY like the movie, but you will get close. Now you have a snack to munch on while you watch The Force Awakens! 

You have seen it, right?
