As an Abyssinian, we never created this kind of recipe cooking Teff as a whole grain meal! Having someone outside the Abyssinian culture creat new recipe is nice and interesting.

It has a protein called Glycin. Teff must be taken with caution by Gluten sensitive or Celiac people as your immune system could react to this protein as it would to a Gluten protein found in wheat. Everyone is different - test your reaction to Teff with caution.

I found some flour made of teff from Bob's Red Mill. It is really delicious added to pancake batter! Hearty and nutty, beautiful tawny color, very autumnal. I'm almost out, could only find the whole teff (Bob's again), so this is very timely for me. It's so small, I wonder whether the whole grain can be used directly in the batter, or whether it needs to be precooked first. Looks like the latter, but I'm lazy in the morning, and will probably try adding some dry to the batter to see if it's a viable shortcut---unless someone advises me otherwise.😉
@IWantToCook2 жыл бұрын
That’s a great idea. It’s so small it’s almost flour-like and seems you could use it as such, especially since it will be cooked in the batter. Please keep us posted. 😀

@@IWantToCook You know, I just thought of another option---presoaking overnight. Or soaking in hot water (in the microwave) the morning of, if I forget to do it the night before.
