As I do not live in the US, I have no idea how much barley flour costs there, but I guess these days from grain of the poor, it has been upgraded to a luxury ingredient; and I have never seen or tasted ‘GrapeNuts’ what is it? Is the comparison favorable for the biscuits, I wonder.
Incidentally, most Americans adore them, and a version of the recipe will be in Eating Well magazine in April. The editors told me that although they didn’t expect to like the rusks, they loved them…
Thank you for this great recipe, I just LOVE paximadi, I eat it like candy.
My darling daughter in law is from Greece, so I do get a bag from her parents once in a while. I guard the bags like a hawk, but now I can make my own.
I want to try this recipe but can’t past the system of measurement. A cup of this, a cup of that. What is a cup?? They come in many sizes in the UK and are not used in recipes. Is it possible to get the ingredients in weights? Kilos, lbs – either would do.
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ! I’ve been looking for a recipe because I can’t buy paximadi where I live. I miss it so much and now I can make it!
This is wonderful! I was wondering what I was going to do once I’d eaten all the paximadi I brought back from Crete. Thank you!
I spent all day and about $15 in ingredients making these. They taste like GrapeNuts cereal. I guess that’s the barley.
