things people ask

• How do I make a barley flour slurry with a teaspoon?
  Stir one teaspoon (1.77 g) into two teaspoons of cold water or stock until smooth, then drizzle into simmering liquid while whisking. That ratio thickens about half a cup of sauce to a light coating. Because barley starch gels at a lower temperature than wheat, you'll see it tighten almost immediately, so add gradually and stop when the spoon trail holds for a second.
• Can I add a teaspoon of barley flour to a spice rub or breading?
  A teaspoon mixed into a tablespoon of paprika, salt, and pepper helps the rub adhere to damp meat and gives a subtle malt note that pairs well with lamb or root vegetables. Keep barley to a quarter or less of the total rub weight, since 1.77 g of flour in 6 g of spice is already noticeable. Toast the rub briefly in oil to wake up the flavor.
• Is a teaspoon of barley flour useful for tightening a pan sauce?
  Yes, especially for braises where you want body without the cornstarch shine. Knead one teaspoon (1.77 g) of barley flour into an equal volume of soft butter, then drop the paste into simmering liquid and whisk. It will thicken roughly a third of a cup of sauce. The fat coats the starch granules so they disperse cleanly instead of forming lumps.
