{{Template:AdvancePreparation}}

'''Injera''' or '''[[Millet|millet]] [[Bread|bread]]''' is Ethiopia's famous [[Pancake|pancake]]-style bread that is similar to a crêpe.

It is also known as '''enjera''' or '''taita''' is a pancake-like bread made out of [[teff flour]]. It is traditionally eaten in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia (where it is also called '''laxoox''' and '''canjeero'''). Although traditionally made from [[teff flour]] it can also be made from [[millet flour]] which will probably be easier to obtain outside of Africa. It is traditionally made using huge [[tavas]], producing table-cloth sized injera that are consumed with the meal.

It's probably prudent to reduce the scale here and make them using a large [[Frying pan|frying pan]]!

====Best recipe review====

''A bit dry''

3.2/5 

Probably more of a subsistence food than a delicacy.
