Notes
Is preferable to make injera by hand, so you get a feel of the batter. Start by adding a cup of water at a time to make a smooth batter.
Traditionally this injera is made with sorghum flour. However, you may substitute the sorghum flour with whole wheat flour. Barley flour works as well.
Keep in mind that humidity, flour and water do play a role in making this injera.Injera should be thicker than a crêpe, but not as thick as a traditional American pancake.
You may replace the flour , salt and baking powder with the same amount of self rising flour as it’s customary.
