First off, I cannot find teff unless I go up to Phoenix. Secondly, 2 POUNDS and 1/2 POUND of flours with only 16 ounces of fluid will not make a thin batter. I made the recipe with 2 cups and 1/2 cup. That proportioning works.

making injera w/out teff is like making sourdough w/out a starter. You can't have one w/out the other.

as stated below, teff is readily available. I found it at whole foods, as well as my local market. No teff, no injera.

Bob's Red Mill (bobsredmill.com offers whole grain teff and teff flour. Further these are available from amazon grocery.

If there's no teff then it's not injera.

the real thing is a sour dough process, no buttermilk.

Thank you, N from Corona, NY, for letting us know some workable alternatives if we can't find teff. It's not available in my area...but I will try your substitutions.

Matthew - if you can't find teff, you can't make injera??? I'm so glad Ethiopians who came to the US don't think like you and tried to find alternatives. Way to be solution oriented. Gees.

You actually posted a recipe for Injera that did not include Teff. Wow. So, do you have any Vegan Fillet Mignon recipes? How about a Virgin Martini or a Gluten-Free Baguette? Seriously. Tell the truth. Say, "In order to make 'X', you will need 'Y'. Yes, it may be hard to find; however, that is what the dish IS. If don't have access to that ingredient, well, you can't make this dish. Sorry. Better luck next time!" For those of you who don't know, Teff is the grain used to make Injera. There are recipes which cut it with other flours. However, to instruct anyone to make Injera without Teff is tantamount to saying, "Sushi is an age-old Japanese delicacy, made by rolling Country Fried Chicken in Mashed Potatoes, wrapping that up with a piece of White Bread and dipping it is some Brown Gravy." Incorrect. Inappropriate. Unnecessary. Unprofessional.

We didnt like the bread at all. The dough didnt look cooked and the insides also tasted like they werent fully cooked, almost like eating raw bread with no flavor. I tried it a 2nd time and cooked both sides of the bread but came up with the same results. Sorry but I'll stick to regular baked or fried bread

This was easy to make and tasted so good. The kids just loved it. Everyone did.
