A basic injera recipe using readily available ingredients for home cooks.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all Injera Batter ingredients. Mix well until a thin batter forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it ferment at room temperature for at least 24-48 hours. The batter should become bubbly and slightly sour.
- After fermentation, stir the batter gently. If it's too thick, add a little water to reach a pancake-batter consistency.
- Heat a large, non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil if necessary.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, swirling the pan to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to lift.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and steam for another 1-2 minutes, or until the injera is cooked through and the surface is no longer sticky. The bottom should be lightly browned.
- Carefully remove the injera from the skillet and let it cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve injera fresh with your favorite Ethiopian stews and dishes.
