Teff Flour is ancient gluten-free grain from Ethiopia. Teff is the tiny seed that contains plenty of the nutrition. Teff grains are tiny, almost the same size as poppy seeds. It can either be cooked as grain, or as flour. You can safely substitute at least 1/4 to 1/3rd of all-purpose flour with teff flour in recipes. Adding teff triples or even quadruples nutrition and aromatic flavor. Teff is a good source of iron, protein, calcium and an excellent source of fiber.
After hearing about teff flour, I ordered online. I truly didn’t know much about teff till then as how it tastes, its texture. I gave it a try, and pancakes turned out very good. I didn’t add white flour or baking soda, still they turned out great. If you are unsure about if you or your kids like teff taste, start with replacing half all-purpose flour with teff flour. As I believe in all-natural cooking, I never bought syrup. I use honey or agave nectar instead. I haven’t tried these pancakes for vegans or paleo. But anyone who knows proportions to replace egg and milk to make it vegan, I am sure it can be made.
