Barley Breakfast Pudding

We have an abundance of fresh milk this week so I decided to make a pudding for breakfast, and use not only some of the milk, but some already-cooked barley, leftover from last night's dinner.

I couldn't find a recipe I liked so started searching for rice pudding recipes and found one I could adapt, on allrecipes. com.

This is what I came up with:



Barley Breakfast Pudding

• 1-1/2 cups cooked barley
• 2 cups fat free milk, divided
• 2 Tbs sugar
• dash of salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• cinnamon to serve

1. Mix the barley and 1-1/2 cups of milk in a saucepan.
2. Add the sugar and salt.
3. Simmer on stovetop for 20 minutes, stirring often.
4. In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1/2 cup of milk together.
5. At the 20 minute mark, drizzle the egg/milk mixture into the cooked barley, whisking as it pours.
6. Cook for 2 more minutes.
7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. It will thicken more as it cools.
8. Divide mixture into 2 bowls, sprinkle with cinnamon and a few raisins.

This would make a lovely dessert for 4 - You might want to add a bit more sugar if for a dessert course.
