She also likes orange, mango and papaya juice, and, like many of the children, Injera and W'ot. The latter is a lentil stew, and I won't share the recipe here - it has about twenty million ingredients, even after the spiced clarified butter, and was way too complicated for picky preschooler tastebuds!
So that won't suit Five-Ingredient Friday.
Neither will the traditional recipe for Injera, with teff flour, but this alternative is the one we tried last week:
Combine flours and baking powder in a bowl. Add club soda plus about 4 cups water. This part was fun for my preschooler, who had never heard of such a thing as making dinner with soda.
Mix into a smooth, fairly thin batter. Heat a large, non-stick skillet. When the skillet is heated, pour a scoop of batter quickly onto the pan - be sure to cover the bottom of the pan.
Wiping the pan with a paper towel dipped in oil between each prevents sticking and excessive browning - but don't get burned!
Serve w'ot and cottage cheese on injera, if desired - no forks needed.
The first three I made were very ugly, but the others looked better and tasted great. So don't give up hope after initial failed efforts.

Oooh, I'm going to have to try this! I love bread!
Thanks for participating in this week's Five Ingredient Friday! :)
So- I tried the recipe today- Sort of funny- trying to make it for one. I cut the recipe in 1/4. But I still bought the 5lb bags of flour. I think I made it right- it tastes ok, and isn't really like a pancake (though close- at least mine was)- do you have any photos of yours?- then I can see if I totally messed it up.
Mine were kind of ugly :)
The only pancake like thing is the bubbly around the edges. Should be much, much thinner. If it tasted pretty good, you did great!
