Injera - Canjeero
This recipe requires preparation in advance!
Injera or millet bread is Ethiopia's famous pancake-style bread that is similar to a crΓͺpe.
It is also known as enjera or taita is a pancake-like bread made out of teff flour. It is traditionally eaten in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia (where it is also called laxoox and canjeero). Although traditionally made from teff flour it can also be made from millet flour which will probably be easier to obtain outside of Africa. It is traditionally made using huge tavas, producing table-cloth sized injera that are consumed with the meal.
It's probably prudent to reduce the scale here and make them using a large frying pan!
