  • About

You can buy puffed barley, but the barley you puff yourself is best. It’s simple to do—cook it, dehydrate it, and then fry it.

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cup (250 g) pearl barley
  • Salt
  • Grapeseed oil, for frying

Method

Cook the barley in 2 quarts/liters of water until tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt. Spread it out on a Silpat-lined sheet pan and bake at 150°F (175°C) for
