Equipment
Flat non-stick pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Water
- Pam Butter Oil spray
- 1 cup of Sorghum flour
- A cup of Unrefined or plain wheat flour
Instructions
- Pour the flour together and mix. Add some water bit by bit and mix until you get a consistent mixture without lumps.
- Don’t add too much water to make the mixture watery.
- Cover the kisra mixture with a plastic cover and leave it for a day or two. Don’t put it in the fridge, but leave it in the kitchen to ferment or become sour.
- Spay a small amount of oil or dip a paper towel in oil and rub it on the electric crepe or flat crepe.
- Pour a bit of the sorghum mix at the far end in a moon shape using a scoop and spread in a circular shape using the Garigariba (flat spoon) or spreader.
- Wait for the kisra to rise; this will take about a minute.
- Don’t turn the kisra to the opposite side to cook; only cook on one side.
- Take it off the pan using a flat tool to raise the ends.
- Clean the pan with a tissue, spray some oil, and repeat the process until all the kisra is done.
- Fold them into desirable shapes and serve with any sauce of your choice.
