Teff Grain For Teffcom.com

Teff is high in carbohydrates and fiber. In one 2003-2004 study in Ethiopia, farmers indicated a preference among consumers for white teff over darker colored varieties. It is noted for its high quality and high yield, when compared to other forage rotations. It is also known as an “emergency crop” because it is planted late in the spring when the growing season is warmer, and most other crops have already been planted. It does not tolerate any type of frost.

Teff recipe:

 

1. Ethiopian Injera:

What Di I Need?

• 1/4 cup teff flour
  

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• a pinch of salt
• peanut or vegetable oil
  

What Do I Do?

Put the teff flour in the bottom of a mixing bowl, and sift in the all-purpose flour.

1. Slowly add the water, stirring to avoid lumps.
2. Put the batter aside for a day or more (up to three days) to allow it to ferment. In this time, your injera batter will start to bubble and acquire the slight tanginess for which it’s known. Note: If you find that your injera batter does not ferment on its own, try adding a teaspoon of yeast.
3. Stir in the salt. Heat a nonstick pan or lightly oiled cast-iron skillet until a water .
4. drop dances on the surface. Make sure the surface of the pan is smooth: Otherwise, your injera might fall apart when you try to remove it.
5. Coat the pan with a thin layer of batter. Injera should be thicker than a crêpe, but not as thick as a traditional pancake. It will rise slightly when it heats.
6. Cook until holes appear on the surface of the bread. Once the surface is dry, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool. 
   
   
   
   
    
   

2. Teff Breakfast Muffins

These hearty muffins remind me of those dark, sweet bran muffins I ate as a child. They are fast and easy to prepare making them a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. Try making them the night before and you will have a breakfast waiting for you on the counter in the morning! There are plenty of combinations for adding goodies into these muffins, but my favorite is to use grated carrot, chopped apple, currants, and chopped walnuts. Sunflower and pumpkin seeds can also replace the nuts in this recipe.

What Do I Need?

• 2 cups teff flour
  

• ½ cup tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
