Has anyone made them!They can be made using a sour dough. They look nicer than ordinary pancakes

No I haven't but looking on google (of course! lol) it looks like a thin fry bread, so give it a go. They do sound very nice I must admit.

Injera is Ethiopian andmade with Teff flour, which is gluten-free.It is very sour and is steamed, not fried.I haven't made it but have eaten it in various Ethiopian restaurants.I'm not wildly keen on it and find the texture a bit too close to Wettex, but lots of people I know love it.

I had to google wettex - injera I knew :)

Ha!The first time I saw injeera was in an Ethiopian cafe in London.As well as forming the base for the communal food, extra injeera was cut into 12cm squares, neatly rolled and served on a stainless steel plate,It looked like something that belonged in an operating theatre.

That's exactly what it looked like!

Hmmm - wettex alright.

I did them once in my sourdough days and quite liked the flavour. They were done in a fry pan though on low heat as I do not have an injera stone.

They were very much like an old American sourdough pancake :)

It's the texture that I don't like -damp and clammy.I much prefer rice with Ethiopian meals, and our new local Ethiopian cafe is happy to provide it.

The texture looks a bit like a crumpet, I was thinking. I may yet have a go. I will post a pic if I do, in my blog.

I did wait a whole FIVE days for pickles to answer and then felt comfortable to do the necessary research without treading on toes.

You know how skilled I am at research ;)

.and pickles, stay in after school.You ignored your good friend uli's request for five whole days so I thought you must be on holiday ;)

Oh yes your research skills are second to none . and the "not-treading on toes" is legendary. Keep up the good work.
