Shortcut Injera

I haven't tried this yet but I will be soon...

RECIPE COPIED FROM MY RECIPES

A traditional injera batter may ferment for days, but this streamlined version comes together quickly. Yogurt adds sourness, while the club soda creates bubbles for a lighter batter. To use the same amount of whole wheat flour in place of teff flour, add 1/2 cup water to the batter; the characteristic tangy flavor may be subdued.

Ingredients:
  • 9 ounces teff whole-grain flour (about 2 cups)
  • 4.5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups club soda
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • Cooking spray

Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine club soda and yogurt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture; stir with a whisk until smooth.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Pour about 1/3 cup batter per flatbread onto pan in a spiral, starting at the center; cook 20 seconds. Cover the pan; cook an additional 40 seconds or just until set. Transfer to a plate, and cover with a cloth to keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining cooking spray and batter, wiping the pan dry with a paper towel between flatbreads.
