Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the sorghum flour with the lukewarm water until you have a smooth batter without lumps, a little runnier than pancake batter.
  2. Add the starter and salt, mix, then cover with a tea towel.
  3. Let it ferment for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature: the batter should rise and show small bubbles on the surface.
  4. Just before cooking, add the baking soda and stir briefly; the batter will foam.
  5. Heat a nonstick pan or crêpe pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it.
  6. Pour a ladle of batter in a spiral from the edge toward the center, without spreading it, to form a thick disc.
  7. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the top is full of holes and the bottom is golden. Do not flip the crepe.
  8. Transfer to a plate and repeat until the batter is used up.

Variations and tips

Softer version. Add 50 ml of extra water to the batter for a thinner, more elastic anjeero.

Using what's available. If sorghum flour is hard to find, replace it with half millet flour and half buckwheat flour, using the same fermentation.
