Barley Pancakes Recipe

These barley pancakes are a great whole-grain take on a breakfast classic, with a lightly nutty flavour and soft, comforting texture.

Serve them plain or with blueberries folded in, then top with fresh berries and yogurt or cottage cheese for a simple, complete meal.

Makes 10 servings

What You Need:

How to Make the Barley Pancakes Recipe:

1. In a medium sized bowl combine ingredients in order given.
2. The batter will be thicker than other pancake batters—do not dilute.
3. Ladle batter onto a hot (380 F.) griddle.
