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.😉

@IWantToCook 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. I do this to plump up poppy seeds when I'm making lemon-ricotta-poppyseed-almond pancakes, and it works great. Bet it would work on teff, too. Just found your channel, btw.😃👍

Hi Chef, what the most Healthy, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Non GMO: Fonio, Millet, Sorghum or Teff?

@IWantToCook 7 ай бұрын

Hi, there - I can’t really answer that question since I trained as a chef and not necessarily as a nutritionist. However, you should easily be able to find the nutrient content of each with a Google search and compare them to find the one that best meets your needs. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! 🙏

You should look up "Injera" the traditional Ethiopian flatbread, Ethiopians eat this with "Wot" which can be many variations of Ethiopian curries and dishes. It's absolutely delicious.

I tried to cook this as a cereal/porridge kind of thing the night before but when I left it out to cool till morning, it kinda hardened together a bit sorta like a flan-bread type of way. Is that how they make bread with it? Kind of interesting

How much water did you use for 1 cup of teff?

I followed this same method but mines keep coming out sticky and sticks to the bottom of the pan. Lol 😅 I wonder what I am doing wrong? Maybe keep heat on low?

@IWantToCook 7 ай бұрын

You might want to vary how much water your using. I'd try adding a bit more at first to see if that helps. If sticking continues to be an issue, a good-quality nonstick pan might be helpful here. Cheers!
