Recipes: Barley Milk Pudding

A deliciously simple recipe for barley milk pudding.

4 oz (100g) barley kernels
2 pints (1200ml) of milk
1 cinnamon stick
2 oz (50g) sugar
1 tsp ground nutmeg
4 oz (100g) butter

Boil up everything in a pan except the butter and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Stir in the butter at the end of the cooking process.

Like all milk puddings, this is delicious cold or with the addition of jam or sultanas.
