I buy this flour for our younger son who is on Glutet-free/Casein-free diet but all family enjoy teff pancakes.

Recipe cannot be easier:
- 3 large eggs,
- 2 tbs of fructose or honey (can be substituted with sugar),
- 4 cups of spring water,
- 2 + (1/4) cup of teff flour,
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda + 2 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice (you can add this mix at the end as a multi-purpose rising agent for any baking).
Usually I use two 10" frying pans at once to make flat pancakes as fast as possible.

I am wheat/gluten free, and love to bake. I am so thankful for Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet books - the recipes are awesome, I don't find I miss much (except for "real" pizza crust and bagels - I just can't seem to find a good recipe for either!) Teff is higher in nutrients than rice, corn, or potato flours, and is very tasty. It is kind of like graham in flavor. I use Bob's brand of teff regularly in Bette's zucchini pineapple bread, gingerbread waffles, and sweet potato cranberry loaf recipes, and it is great! I really encourage celiacs and those with wheat/gluten sensitivities to do their own baking - I can't begin to tell you how much the taste is worth it compared to the gluten free convenience foods available. Yes, it takes time, and you will have to buy several kinds of flours, but it is SO worth it! WFGF convenience foods are SO expensive, the flours you buy to do your own baking will pay for themselves. Make recipes in large batches and freeze for comfort food breads and muffins you never thought you'd have again.

This is a wonderful flour to use for pancakes, waffles, muffins, or any quick bread. You cannot make a typical "loaf of bread" with it because it doesn't have any gluten in it. But if you are sensitive to wheat, teff flour is a good option. You can even make very good cookies with it!

Great teff flour for making a teff pancake that I eat with everything from stews, to eggs, to cheese, to ethiopian style vegetables. I mix it with slightly more that half filtered water, and let ferment in a 1-1/2 quart covered glass casserole until real bubbly, with a touch of salt and a bit of oil. The trick is in the fermenting. I keep using the old batch as starter and it gets better and ferments faster after several time. (Once you get your starter, it will ferment faster.) I also find the pancake is lighter if you start in the center and spiral the dough as you pour it into a hot pan. If you need it a touch lighter add a pinch of backing soda. Its easy, has more protein and fiber than wheat flour.

I was anxious to try making my own ijera at home after living in Ethiopia for 15 months and have had fairly good success with this tef flour. It is the dark variety but I enjoy the great almost mocha flavor. I can tell it is fresh because it develops a good sour starter on its own without needing to add any additional sourdough starter or yeast.

I'll confess that Bob's Red Mill Teff Flour is the ONLY teff flour I have ever purchased -- but I've been pleased with it from the start, so why try anything else? The flour I have received from Amazon has always arrived in good, fresh condition.

Teff can be used to make tasty gluten-free breads, cookies, waffles, and more, and it is one of the most nutritious gluten-free flours available. For longest shelf life, slip unopened bags of the flour into zippered freezer bags and put them in the freezer or refrigerator until needed.

High in iron and fiber. Get "Going Wild in the Kitchen" for recipes with teff flour. My family loves it. Great price, too!

Teff flour is used to make "injera", an Ethiopian, crepe-like bread. If you want Teff flour, then this brand is the best one around for the quality of the grain used and also for the fine ground texture especially since the texture plays a lot into the final injera product.
If you are not used to Teff or are experiencing some indigestion-like symptoms, your body is not used to it. You may try mixing all-purpose flour or pancake mix to dilute the Teff's effects. Slowly you may increase the Teff intake. LOVE it!

Teff is a relative of millet but has a more interesting taste, it smelled a bit like hazlenuts when I opened the package. I bought this to use in a recipe for a tart crust. It substitutes for about half of the all-purpose flour. It was absolutely delicious! It acted more like a pastry flour in this recipe (but with a lot more calcium and iron- this grain is a nutrient powerhouse). The crust was unbelievably light and moist (almost like freshly made shortbread) and was much better tasting than the typical tart crust .

I have always been very happy with the quality of Bob's Red Mill products and this one was no exception. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

I bought Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Teff Flour from Amazon.com. I made injera (Ethiopian flat bread) with it. It was great. It is a healthy whole-grain flour with more fiber than white flour.
