  • I couldn’t find rice malt or barley malt in the store. Where would I buy those?

    I wasn’t sure if this was supposed to be malt syrup instead, so I went with barley malt syrup. The dough was too wet to roll out, but was perfect for drop cookies.

  • Dear Chuck,thank you for your comment. You will find barley or rice malt in the organic food stores.Rice malt I bought has a thick enough consistency to be absorbed by the flour. Probably,you have to adjust the quantity according the texture of flour and barley (or rice) malt consistency (if too liquid or not).
