INSTRUCTIONS
15-20 12-inch Injera
In a large bowl, mix:
Let set in large bowl, covered, an hour or longer, until batter rises and
becomes stretchy. It can sit as long as 3-6 hours.
When ready, stir batter if liquid has settled on bottom. Whip in blender, 2
cups of batter at a time, thinning it with 1/2 - 3/4 cup water. Batter will
be quite thin.
Cook in non-stick frypan WITHOUT OIL over medium or medium-high heat. Use
1/2 cup batter per injera for a 12-inch pan or 1/3 cup batter for a 10-inch
pan. Pour batter in heated pan and quickly swirl pan to spread batter as
thin as possible.
Batter should be no thicker than 1/8-inch. Do not turn over. Injera does
not easily stick or burn. It is cooked through when bubbles appear all over
the top.
Finished injera will be thicker than a crepe, but thinner than a pancake.
Lay each injera on a clean towel for a minute or two, then stack in covered
dish to keep warm.
To serve, overlap a few injera on a platter and place stews on top ( most
kinds of spicy bean or veggie stews/curries would be great with this. For
Ethiopian food, the spicier the better).
Or lay one injera on each dinner plate, and ladle stew servings on top.
Give each person three or more injera, rolled up or folded in quarters, to
use for scooping up the stews.
If you make 15 12-inch injeras, each would be about 120 calories, 3% CFF.
