Gluten-Free Dabo Kolo
A gluten-free twist on the classic Ethiopian roasted barley snack, using teff and sorghum flour for a nutty, crunchy treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Teff Flour
- 1/2 cup Sorghum Flour
- 2 tablespoons Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian Spiced Butter)
- 1 tablespoon Berbere Spice Blend
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 175°C.
- 2In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of Teff Flour, 1/2 cup of Sorghum Flour, 1 tablespoon of Berbere Spice Blend, and 1/2 teaspoon of Salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- 3Gently melt the 2 tablespoons of Niter Kibbeh. Pour the melted Niter Kibbeh into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together thoroughly until it looks crumbly.
- 4Gradually add 2 tablespoons of Water to the mixture, stirring as you go. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a tiny bit more water, a teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
- 5Take small portions of the dough and roll them between your hands to form small balls, or shape them into other small, bite-sized pieces.
- 6Arrange the shaped dough pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. The Dabo Kolo is ready when it is golden brown and feels crunchy.
- 7Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Dabo Kolo cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This allows them to become fully crisp.
