*This was my first time using barley flour and it gave a nutty flavour to the pancakes. Try the recipe!

I had a barley pancake and barley drink for breakfast. One word to describe the meal, 'YUMMY!'

  2. They look yummy, but barley groats sounds bizarrely unappetizing. I've never heard of barley groats. I can eat the sea salt and the eggs and that's it. I think it's so interesting our diets are opposite.
