I had a pack of barley and didn’t know what to do with that. When Priya mentioned that barley flour can be prepared at home, I wanted to try it. You can powder barley in your mixer grinder. Just sieve the flour and grind it again until all the barley grains are powdered. Barley has a low gluten value. So the dough will not be like the ordinary wheat flour or maida. To get nice biscuits I added a small amount of wheat flour. The biscuits were very crispy. I prepared them without chilly powder because my daughter will not eat it. If you like hot biscuits, add chilly powder.I liked the taste but I am waiting for my hubby and daughter to arrive to give the verdict.

Loved ur blog and eggless recipes. I’m inspired and will try this barley biscuit soon.
I tried these biscuits but they didn’t crisp up despite baking for 25 minutes. Any advice? Should I try a higher oven temperature?
You can try baking on lower temperature for more time. Increasing temperature would make it too brown.
