Instructions
  1. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well.
  2. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be.
  3. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch you make with the WASS Digital Mitad Grill will be amazing!
  4. Bring your WASS Digital Mitad Grill to medium heat. Stir in the salt, and season with more taste if you like, until you can barely detect the saltiness. Also stir in the baking powder. Your batter will deflate when you stir it.
  5. Now pour enough batter into the pan to fill entire surface and cover with the lid. It’s important to keep a lot of moisture in the pan or the Injera will crack. You don’t flip Injera, and you aren’t supposed to brown it’s underside, but some like the taste of it browned so you can overcook it a bit if you prefer. It takes about 5-7 minutes to cook Injera. You’ll see the top bubble like pancakes and start to dry out. When the top is dry, and the edges begin to curl/dry, use a rubber or wooden spatula to remove the Injera from the pan.
  6. Place on a plate and repeat, layering cooked Injera with parchment paper until you use up all the batter.
  7. We have successfully prepared this recipe without fermentation many times—its just not sour.

Congratulations, you have just made authentic Ethiopian Injera using your WASS Digital Mitad Grill.
