Rieska
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. This quick bread is wonderful hot from the oven spread with butter. Also try spreading it with maple butter for a fabulous treat!
2 cups barley or rye flour
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup half and half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
soft butter or olive oil for the pan
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Stir in half and half and butter until a smooth dough forms. Brush a baking sheet with butter or oil, and with floured hands lightly pat the dough out onto the sheet to make a circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Prick all over with a fork, and then bake about 10 minutes until browned. Cut into wedges and spread with plenty of butter.
