Notes
If you don't have barley flour, substitute ½ cup barley flour with the same ½ cup any other flour.
Substitute 1 Tbs maple syrup with 1 Tbs honey if you don't like the slightly smoky flavor of maple syrup.
If you don't have milk or if you want to make the recipe dairy free, substitute it with water -equal amount- and the recipe will work fine.
To make this recipe egg free, substitute the beatn egg with your favorite egg replacer.
