Makes: 1 loaf   

Ingredients 225 g (8 oz) barley flour 125 ml (4 fl oz) single (pouring) cream 4 tbsp milk 25 g (1 oz) butter, melted 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt

 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F fan oven, 200°C/400°F conventional oven.
2. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
3. Make a well in the centre and add the cream, milk and butter. Mix to a dough.
4. Lightly flour a surface. Press the dough firmly between your hands to ensure it is well compressed then shape it into a round about 1cm (½") thick and 23 cm (9") across.
5. Carefully transfer the dough to a lightly-greased baking tray. Lightly score the top of the bread into six sections - do not cut all the way through - then prick all over with a fork.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

 Notes This type of barley bread is best served warm with lashings of butter, cream cheese or cottage cheese. It goes nicely with a big bowl of soup too.
