A fermented grain mixed with water and then fried similar to a pancake or crêpe. injera is the backbone of Ethiopian meals. Eaten multiple times a day and typically served family-style with large spoonfuls of savory dishes, injera is commonly made from a grain called teff and is full of nutrients such as protein, calcium, fiber, and iron. Teff is naturally gluten-free, but many American restaurants mix in other grains to save money. Food platters are served with additional pieces of injera to scoop up delectable dishes such as simmered greens, spicy lentils, or stewed chickpeas. The best part? Injera is always vegan.

3/4 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon active yeast
1/4 teaspoon baking powder(optional for even more holes)
Method:Whisk all the ingredients. Cover with a light lid and let the batter sit for 1-2 days.
When ready to make the injera, gently remove the dark water on top into a bowl
