I’m a
pancake lover, how about you? I’m here to let you know when I read a post from
Mike Yukon, over at Living
Prepared on
his Pearled Barley Pancake recipe; I had to ask him how his pancakes tasted. I
even asked if kids would like the pancakes.
Mike responded; his neighbors liked them, and he thought kids would like
them too.
Mike took
pearled barley grain and milled the grain to make flour. He added ingredients like water, baking soda,
sugar, and salt to make the pancake batter.
Because I asked Mike a question on how his pancakes tasted, he contacted
me through e-mail, and offered to send me some of his freshly milled flour
inside his pancake mix. I took Mike up
on his offer, and several days later I received a package.
Inside
this package were two packets, one containing Pearled
Barley Pancake Mix, and the other containing Whole
Wheat and Barley Pancake Mix. I was
excited about receiving this package and had to make the pancakes, and send
Mike a return e-mail on what I thought of his fresh milled flour and pancakes.
After
mixing up the batter, and cooking the pancakes in a frying pan on the stove,
Bulldog Man and I tried both types of pancake mixes. We loved both types of
pancakes; however, our favorite was the Whole Wheat and Barley mix. I e-mailed Mike pictures of the pancakes, and
our thoughts.

Mike, you’re
right, once you mill your own flour, you won’t want to go back to the
prepackaged flour. Now, I’m going to
have to make sure to put getting a mill on the top of our prepared list of
tools to purchase.
