- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (130 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 100 g Potatoes, floury, raw
- 25 g Barley flour
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Peel the potatoes and boil them in unsalted water for 20-25 minutes, until soft. Drain them well and mash them smooth while hot, then let the mash cool until just warm.
- Heat the oven to 250°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Melt the butter. Work the salt, half the butter and most of the barley flour into the mash to a soft dough that just holds together; it should still be slightly sticky.
- On a surface dusted with the rest of the barley flour, pat the dough with floured hands into a round about 1 cm thick and 15 cm across. Lift it onto the tray and prick it all over with a fork.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until firm and spotted brown on top.
- Brush with the rest of the butter as soon as it comes out of the oven and cover with a cloth for a few minutes so the crust softens. Eat warm, with butter.
