How to Make Old Fashioned Barley Pudding
- Rinse 1 cup of pearl barley under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed barley, 4 cups of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the barley is tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the barley is cooking, preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of whole milk, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- Stir in the cooked barley, 1/2 cup of raisins, the zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Grease a 1-quart baking dish generously with butter.
- Pour the barley mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
- Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pudding will be set and slightly browned on top.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
