Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup teff flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour with 2 1/2 cups warm water until a smooth batter forms. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let sit at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight to develop a mild sour flavor.
  2. Step 2: After fermentation, stir 1/2 teaspoon salt into the batter. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
  3. Step 3: Pour about 1/2 cup batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the surface. Cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges lift easily, then remove with a spatula without flipping.
  4. Step 4: Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil as needed. Stack the injera flatbreads on a plate covered with a clean towel to keep warm and soft before serving.
