Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Brown Teff Flour
- 0.5 cups Tapioca Starch
- 1.25 cups Warm Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Honey(optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder(optional)
- 2 tablespoons Additional Olive Oil for frying
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teff flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- 2
Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water, olive oil, and honey.
- 3
Stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth, thick batter forms; it should be thicker than pancake batter but pourable.
- 4
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the teff flour to fully hydrate and the xanthan gum to set.
- 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil.
- 6
Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and spread it into a 6-inch circle using the back of a spoon.
- 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges look dry and small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully.
- 8
Cook the second side for another 2 minutes until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a clean towel to keep warm.
