INGREDIENTS

2 c Unbleached white flour
2 tbsp Berbere
1 tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Light oil

For: 4 servings

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

In a bowl combine flour berbere sugar & salt. Gradually mix in about 2/3 cup of water until a thick paste is formed.

Dump the mixture onto a floured board & knead until you have a stiff dough. Make a well in the centre of the dough ball & pour in the oil. Fold the dough over the oil & knead for another 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth to keep it moist.

Break off chunks to roll into 1/4" round strips. Cut these strips into 1/2" long pieces preferably using scissors so that the ends will be pinched.

Bake on a flat sheet for 20 to 30 minutes until crisp. Stir 2 or 3 times to ensure even browning. When cool store in an airtight container.
