Platter with three Fast Injera Breads
These Injera were made with Anthony's Organic Buckwheat Flour.
They are about as dark as if made with Brown Teff.
White Teff would make Injera of an even lighter color.

Lefse Griddle This 16 inch Lefse griddle was used for the example breads. In Ethiopia, it would be made on large disk of iron (formerly clay) over a wood fire, but that takes a lot of experience to get the temperatures right. A regular 12 inch iron skillet would work if well seasoned, or a non-stick pan of similar size. Whatever pan is used, it must have a cover. I suggest you have an Infrared Thermometer for accurate temperature control. For details on the photo pan see our Lefse Griddle page.

Pitcher and Oxo Silicone Turner These are my Injera tools. The stainless steel Pitcher holds 4 cups, but a 2 cup size would be sufficient and easier to handle. To take the bread off the griddle, use a wide turner like Oxo example to the left in the photo. If you turn the bread over, you will need another turner to steady it, but a narrower one would be fine. If not using a non-stick pan, you can use plain metal turners.
