The Finns rely on cereal as one of the mainstays of their diet, since barley, rye and buckwheat grow well in their country. The barley pudding is a good substitute for potatoes, noodles or rice. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups barley, large grain variety |
6 cups boiling milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup butter |
Directions:
1. Soak barley overnight, or according to package directions, in 4 cups water. Cook in same water. As barley begins to absorb the water, gradually add the boiling milk and seasonings, stirring constantly. Cook barley over very low heat about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Transfer to buttered 1 1/2-quart or 2-quart baking dish. Dot with butter and bake in 250°F. oven until golden brown, about 2 hours.
