Directions
-
Whisk together the self-rising flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
-
Pour in the club soda and approximately 4 cups of water, mixing until you achieve a smooth, thin batter consistency similar to crepe batter.
-
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot enough that a drop of water bounces on the surface.
-
Quickly pour a ladle of batter into the hot skillet, swirling immediately to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Cook without covering until the moisture evaporates and small holes appear on the surface, indicating the injera is set.
-
Remove the injera from the pan; it should be cooked only on one side and remain soft, not browned or crisp.
-
Stack the cooked injera on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen cloth to keep them warm and moist while you cook the remaining batter.
