  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8–10 pancakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked barley
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 apple, peeled and grated

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution and a light texture.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, cooked barley, and freshly grated apple until fully combined, creating a moist batter base.
  3. Combine Batters: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
  4. Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour batter onto the skillet forming pancakes of desired size. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve the pancakes warm. They pair beautifully with maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor.

Notes

  • Serve with maple syrup or yogurt for a delicious complement to the flavors.
  • Batter can be blended briefly for smoother pancakes if preferred.
