Barley Malt Syrup

Hi Mattie: I notice you use Barley Malt Syrup often. Is it used for flavor or texture or both? Do you think Rice Syrup would have the same effect if one were Gluten Free?
Thanks and Happy Halloween!

Owner's reply

Hi laurelvb,

The barley malt is used because it really helps bring the flavor out of pumpkin. It also has minor binding abilities so I don't have to use an egg replacer. for a gluten-free option I recommend molasses or if you really want to get the best flavor I'd recommend substituting half brown rice syrup and half molasses. Good luck!

"Don't you need to mix the starch with cold water before adding to the simmering mixture, or else you get gooey clumps?"

"So, I've been searching for a recipe to make my own coffee creamer without dairy and I found this. I changed it slightly so that it would be a little less sweet, but still thicker than plain milk. I actually used vanilla soy milk and just reduced the sugar amount, then I only cooked it down for about one hour. The texture and flavor are perfect for coffee creamer! Thanks for the recipe :)"

"Thank you for sharing this recipe. It came out moist and with great texture. Easy and cheap! I am addicted to chocolate cake so my husband prohibited me from making it more than twice a month. He says I eat too much sugar, but it's great to know that this one will come out just right every time. "
