2 cups flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup brown sugar ½ tsp salt ½ Tbsp baking soda 1 cup milk, water, or nut milk ½ cup butter or coconut oil 1 egg 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla or orange extract (optional)

Preheat oven to 450° F. Grease a muffin tin, or put in paper baking cups.

Stir together the flour, sugars, salt, and baking soda.

In a small bowl, melt the butter/coconut oil. Add the milk/water/nut milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla/orange extract. Whisk until completely combined.

Pour the liquid into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide evenly into the muffin cups, about ¼ cup each.

Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400° F and bake for 10-12 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.

Makes 10-12 regular sized muffins. Cooking times will be shorter for small muffins and longer for large muffins.

Variations

Add to the dry ingredients 1 to 1 ½ cups of a filling, such as dried fruit, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, berries, chopped fresh or frozen fruit, rolled oats or barley. Use honey instead of sugar. Add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder. Add 2-3 tsp of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, etc. Add 2 Tbsp each of poppy seeds and lemon zest.

This is meant to be a basic recipe that can be customized as you wish for different flavors.

This basic recipe can be used as the template for many variations of the classic dessert.

For a medium sized cobbler, about 9”×6”.

Filling: 3 cups fruit, fresh or frozen about ¼ cup sugar (more or less depending on the fruit used)

Topping: 1 cup flour 1 ½ cups rolled oats ¼ cup sugar 1/3 cup butter

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Prepare the fruit as necessary, such as washing, peeling, chopping it into roughly bite-sized pieces, removing seeds. Stir the fruit and sugar together, then spread into the bottom of a baking pan.

Stir the oats, flour, and sugar together. Use your fingers to rub in the butter until there is no dry powder. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit and bake for 30 minutes.

Variations

Use rolled barley, rye, or wheat instead of rolled oats. Use white sugar, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Combine any type of fruit. Add 1-2 tsp of spices to the filling or the topping. Add extras to the filling like chopped nuts, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips. Use coconut oil instead of butter. Use different types of flour in the topping such as almond flour, corn meal or masa harina.

2 cups flour 2 cups rolled barley 3 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt ½ cup butter ¼ cup honey ½ cup milk or nut milk

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line baking sheet with parchment.

Sift flour, barley, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter until there is no dry powder. Stir in honey and add enough milk to make a soft dough. Dust the countertop and the top of the dough with flour, and roll out the dough to about ¾” thickness. Cut out scones with a circle cutter, or another desired shape. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the tops have golden-brown edges.

Makes 10-12 large scones.

2 cups warm water or barley tea 3 cups wheat flour 1 cup barley flour 2 tsp dry yeast, or .6 oz fresh yeast 2 tsp molasses, honey, or maple syrup 1 cup rolled barley 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp oil

Mix the molasses with 1 cup water/tea in a small bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and let it proof until foamy.

Mix 1 cup water/tea with 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup barley flour, and ¾ cup rolled barley. When the yeast is foamy, add that in and stir it all up. Let it rise until roughly doubled.

Add in the rest of the flour (2 cups), the salt, and the oil. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, kneading in flour as necessary. Let rise, oiled, in a warm place, until about doubled again.

Meanwhile, soak the remaining ¼ cup of rolled barley in 2 Tbsp water or tea.

Form the dough into a loaf. Smooth the wet barley onto the top, encrusting it into the dough. Place in an oiled loaf pan and cut a slit along the top of the loaf.

Spray inside your oven or put a pan of water in there. Put in the dough and set the oven to 350° F. Bake (including preheat time) for 50-60 minutes.
