Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ivory or Brown Teff Flour
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 cups Warm Water
  • 1 cup Club Soda
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teff flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Gradually pour in the warm water and lemon juice, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.

  3. 3

    Gently stir in the club soda just before cooking; the bubbles will help create the characteristic 'eyes' or holes in the bread.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with a tiny amount of oil if necessary.

  5. 5

    Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl it outward in a circular motion to cover the surface.

  6. 6

    Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook for about 2 minutes until the top is dry and full of small holes.

  7. 7

    Do not flip the injera; simply slide it off the pan onto a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel.

  8. 8

    Allow the injera to cool completely before stacking to prevent them from sticking together.
