OK, you might be thinking WTH, what happened to this guy (already crazy that you know lol)

OK, I used to have barley biscuits when I was a kid (does not mean that I am very old now. Slightly old, thats all.). Recently I tried to get the same, went to every bakery I see but seems nobody makes it now :(

If you haven't seen it before, it is yellowish in color, square in shape, not flat always, slightly bend, and like small frills at border. It will be written - Barley (now do not asking me what font it is, it was running letters) on every biscuit. Of course it is made of barley, sweet and very tasty.

I know it was not by any major brands, was made in local bakeries.

I tried my level best in google images but no luck :(

Anybody seen / ate it before ? Anyone know from where I will get ? Or going one more step further, any good soul out there who can buy and courier me some ? I will pay for all expenses.

(I see first reply now itself !! Now this is chit-chat or bakery section ?)

I grew up eating biscuits (among other things) but never ate or saw one with barley in it.

may be my memory is weak but i remember vaguely a biscuit named barley :D
and various others, khatta meetha(sour sweet), namkeen(ummm...salty). A kaaju shaped biscuit was mine favorite , it was teh best one, tasted teh best.

I think we get barley biscuits here! I am not very sure because I never had them. But lately I have seen some shops here keeping some local biscuits which they claim are useful for health. Rg: nachni biscuits, dink laddoo, etc. I will check here of they have it.

Buy a pack of barley powder. Make a dough of it adding maida(works as a filler), necessary sugar, some cardamom powder, little bit of scraped coconut(thenga peera in malayalam), salt etc. Roll it flat in to medium thickness. Cut it out in to whichever shape you want. Bake it in oven and you have Barley biscuits ready :eek:
