Barley Chips Recipe
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 c. All-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. Barley flour
- 1/2 c. Rolled barley (barley Flakes)
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) butter or possibly Margarine, softened
- 1/2 c. Lowfat milk
Directions
- "Very few people really know the taste of barley. Rolled barley looks like oatmeal, but has a slightly sharper taste and less nutty flavor. These sweet barley crackers have a tender texture. Try them with just a cool glass of lowfat milk. 325 F. 20 to 25 min Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- In a large bowl or possibly in the food processor, stir together the flours, barley, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the butter till the mix resembles coarse meal. Add in sufficient of the lowfat milk to create a dough which will hold together in a cohesive ball.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or possibly pastry cloth, roll out to 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Cut into 2-inch circles or possibly squares and place on a lightly greased or possibly parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prick each cracker in 2 or possibly 3 places with the tines of a fork.
- Bake for 20 to 25 min, or possibly till medium brown. Cold on a wire rack.
- Yield: 45-55.
- VARIATIONS: For a richer cracker, substitute 2 Tbsp. barley malt syrup for the sugar and reduce the amount of lowfat milk slightly.
- This recipe can be made with oatmeal (rolled oats) and oat flour for a distinctive oat flavor.
