  1. 1.In a large bowl, whisk together the teff flour, water, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  2. 2.Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter ferment at room temperature for 24-48 hours, until it becomes bubbly and slightly sour-smelling.
  3. 3.Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and swirl it around to form a thin, even layer.
  4. 4.Cook the injera for 1-2 minutes, until the top is dry and the edges start to curl up. Do not flip the injera over.
  5. 5.Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the injera on top of each other as you go.
  6. 6.Serve the injera warm with your favorite Ethiopian stews and curries.
